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.
I have been diagnosed with pagets disease and it is effecting the 7th rib on my right side. Ihave had one infusion (Bisphosphonate). I still continue to have pain in the same spot and it is uncomfortable. I also feel restricted in my breathing. Can you suggest anything for me?
The pain is related to local inflammation. I recommend taking gabapentin for the pain. This drug is an anti-epilepsy drug, used to treat chronic body or nerve pain. You should discuss with your doctor on the above treatment option.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
