Suggest Remedy For Sore & Painful Ribs

I was laying on the floor, on my stomach, playing with the baby and encouraging him to crawl when I felt something under my ribs roll or come out of place. I got up, and the pain left, but, now, under my ribs, on the left side, it s extremely sore. What did I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of spinal nerve root there is pain in your back and rib.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Another possibility of costochonditis which can be confirmed on CT scan.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
