Had Flu Along With Retching. Having Pain In Ribcage And Spinal Stenosis. Had Mastectomy. Is It Related?

it can be caused by both mastectomy and spinal stenosis.
but also it could be sign of pneumonia which progressed from flu especially if there is cough and pain in lungs.
but if the pain is associated with movements then it is more likely spine disorder such as spondilitis, nerve compresion, disc hernia etc. You should do ct or mri to verify this. Till that try not to do moves that agravate pain, have massage and warm baths which will relax spine muscles and nerves. Do streching exercises every morning. If you notice breathing difficulties, pain progression, numbness on neck and arms or weakness in arms, you should visit hospital. Wish you good health. If you have questions I ll be glad to help.
