How Can Rib Pain With Dull Scapula Pain Be Treated?
Hi, yesterday, without any specific reason, like certain movement or different diet, I started to get pain on the left side, rib area. This pain is sharp. I also have a dull pain under left scapula and an uncomfortable feeling in the neck/jaw area. I am female, 48 years old, do fitness on regular basis. I am on K+ sparing diuretics and have MGUS which has not required any treatment yet since it is stable since the last 7 years, when they diagnosed it. I can not pay a fee at this time, I have been unemployed for a long time now...

2.Local volitran ointment
3.Brufen tablet if your doctor aggres.
4. Avoid weight lifting and forward bending.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
