What Causes Pain Below The Breast?
Felt as if something broke! The right area below my breast and upper right side I guess where my are has been hurting on and off for a while now to the point I haven t been able to move certain ways or even sleep on that side. I have fractured 3 ribs on my left at once so I figured it was that and have been blowing it off bc there s nothing that can be done. Well yesterday my daughter and I were trying to open a broken tailgate and I literally something break in that area which dropped me to my knees with pain. I now am constantly hurting, can t lift my right arm at all really or do pretty much anything with my right side. I m right handed so it makes everything pretty much impossible for me to do which is not good when raising 4 kids. I also can t turn, bend, sit, etc. certain ways without unbearable pain to the point I scream out in agony. I have no clue what to do if anything at all can be done. I don t have medical insurance and I m not working right now so its extremely hard to see a doctor. Let me also say that I do have high blood pressure, fibromyalgia and carnal tunnel in both wrist/hands as well. I pretty sure that those conditions wouldn t have any affect on this though I m not 100%. I need any input that can be given to me on what may have happened please! Thanks a bunch!

Hello,
For the pain in the right side of the chest, I will advise you to do the taping of the ribs with taping technique which you can find online. Post that simple deep breathing exercises, segmental breathing exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises should help reduce the pain and get the respiratory mechanism better with muscles being stronger and better.
For carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia and high blood pressure regular exercise for improving the muscle property needs to be induced to avoid the pain and aches occurring due to the carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. Exercise like stretching and strengthening should help. Also, simple walking exercise and chair aerobics should help improve the control over the blood pressure.
Modification in diet and exercise should help you to a far better extent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
