What Causes Increasing Pain In Lowest Rib And Back?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Two months ago, I used to get up from bed in the morning with mild pain in the lowest rib (front side) sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right. The pain would disappear as the day progressed. About a month ago, this pain began to appear on the back side as well. The intensity and frequency increased. It also was now found in the evenings and night. Soon the pain became a shooting pain and unbearable from time to time. Nights became unbearable and prevented from sleeping. Pain killers eased the situation

Hi

One of the commonest reason for back pain is slip disc

recollect if you have lift some weights, filled in water buckets, long drive in a two wheeler or any jerks while driving etc which would have caused the slip disc

apply cold compression four to five times daily

diclofenac gel can be applied locally and if the pain is severe abdominal belt can be used to limit the movement

use a soft bed for sleeping and avoid exercise till you get the relief

MRI is suggested if do not get the relief within a week


Wish You Good Health
