Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Severe Pain Around The Ribcage Be A Symptom Of A Bowel Dysfunction?
I have been having horrible pain for the past 10 yrs. Have been to every Dr. You can imagine... Scope.. MRI and Catscan... Nothing can be found... My pain comes from my left side seems like under ribs up and across to middle under breast... Pain is unbearable... Wondering if this could have something with my bowels?
It may be due to pleuracy or vitamin D deficiency or herpes zoster or nerve root compression etc.Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu,
Internal Medicine Specialist
