What Could Bruise In Ribs With Numbness Suggest?
I am having a slight discomfort on the left side of my stomach just below the breast area. When I press on a certain area, it feels like there is a small bruise within the ribs. This is also accompanied by numbness that is only on the left side of my stomach area. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this can be due to vitamin B 12 deficiency. I would recommend you to get your serum B12 estimation and also ECG and cardiac checkup. if there is abnormal ECG then you need to take opinion of the cardiologist.
If there is vitamin B 12 deficiency then you need to take Methylcobal one daily.That will improve your tingling and numbness.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
