Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Ribs And During Physical Activity

I ve been having pain under left rib that radiates to my back and stomach which is worse when walking or standing. When I had my last child I got a prolapsed bladder. In the last 2 months I have the pain under left rib and when standing all day at work I can not urinate until I relax off my feet for at least half an hour. Went to the doctor a few weeks ago and he sent me for a sonogram of abdomen and bladder. Results are: Mild pelviectasis. Small echogenic focus left renal sinus does not shadow and may represent prominent renal sinus fat. Can not confirm stone. Renal length is 13.6 cm. Small gallbladder pulp. Partially distended gallbladder. Nodule in the fund us. Is this alarming and is this causing my pain? I was born with only my left kidney, no right kidney. All my life when I ve had urine tests they tell me I have a lot of protein in my urine. My doctor doesn t have an appointment available until 3/30....I need to know now how serious is all this!?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in the ribs and during physical activity. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like broken ribs , injuries to the chest and inflamed rib cartilage . The symptoms can also occur due to disc problem or cardiac problem . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out more serious problem . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , complete blood profile and chest x-ray . Doctor may prescribe isosorbid nitrate , aspirin , sedative betablockers and frusamide . Doctor may also refer you to to orthopedic surgeon for broken rin or chest specialist for chest infection . For now do proper rest , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
