Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Rib Cage
Question: posterior and lateral rib cage pain. Started only with sudden movement but now continuous except when motionless. Not aggrevated by deep breathing. Seems to be worse after lying down.
Brief Answer:
Please continue with Advil !
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is certainly caused by a strained muscle following the surrounding circumstances of the pain onset. I'd suggest that you continue with Advil (take it after some food only). If the pain remains troublesome, it'd be good to add on 650mg of Tylenol every 8hours after food for better pain control.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted on this.
Regards
