Painful Hand, In Line With Rib Cage, Parallel To Spine. Massaged Muscles, Not Helpful. What Can Help?
I have pain in a very specific area in my back on the right hand side, just in line with the bottom of the rib cage. I think it runs vertically, parallel to the spine. It's been there for over 3 weeks, does not get better or worse. Does not seem to be muscular as it does not improve with massaging the muscles, but this makes it worse.
hi thanks for your query as per your complain you have in a very specific area in your back on the right hand side, just in line with the bottom of the rib cage. you think it runs vertically, parallel to the spine. It's been there for over 3 weeks.
it is suggestive of some kind of infection below your right diaphragm which causes typical pain in lower part of rib cage and due to irritation of diaphram it causes refer pain to the right shoulder. please get some investigation done complete heamogram ultrasonography of abdomen chest x ray causes of your pain -infection of liver hepetitis, liver abscess -lung infection pleural effusion - Sleeping Positions -spine problem disc abnolmalties
if any query you can ask.
wish you good health
with best wishes
DR G C OJHA
