Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ribs When Suffering From Multiple Sclerosis
I have m.s and lately have pain in ribs on left side. Pain gradually developed over a few days getting worse and worse. I have not had an injury. It is a very sharp strong pain in lower ribs front round to back. It is worse when I am standing up. Least pain in morning after resting in bed, but after getting up it starts to build up. Taking ibuprofen but it is not helping

See your family doctor for needful physical examination & investigations followed by specific treatment or referral to expert.
