Have Pain In Breast. What Is The Cause Of Pain?
Im 27 year my height is 156.3cm. my weight is abt 80kg. I've had a sharp, stabbing pain behind/in the lower of my right breast.The pain just under my right ribcage is also sharp & stabbing, but sometimes also feels like a burning pain. i just had this 2 days back.. i couldnt sleep, even when im turning around left or right to sleep the stabbing pains getting worst. The pain are literally starts from my right neck and to lower right breast. What can i do for it and what is the cause for the pain to be occurred?

Hi,
Based from the information it seems like a "COSTOCHRONDRITIS", which is a inflammation of the joints of rib cage. It will certainly give sharp pain like some one is stabbing you, and the pressure changes while turning /tossing in sleep may cause pain.
ADVICE:
1) Take OVER THE COUNTER pain medication like ibuprofen for help in reduction of pain and inflammation of joint.
2) Warm water bag/ cold sponging may help in pain relief and may help in healing faster.
3) Reduce the physical activity like running , carrying heavy loads till things get back to normal.
4) Rubbing a balm - an counter irritant - like (Iodex India / bangey-hot and ice in USA) will sooth pain.
4) If none of above helps contact near by physician.
Hope it helps,
Dr. JAY PATEL.
