Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXX,
Thank you for providing me relevant information on my clinical scenario questions.
You seem to have a pain of muscular origin from the history. Another differential would be tietz syndrome.
I would like you to have an x ray chest, ECG, Vitamin d3 levels and get back to me.
In the mean time a pain reliever will be helpful for symptomatic relief.
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.
