Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 49 year old female I m having pain under the left side scapula between my ribs I can feel little bumps often and when I push on them it sends electric shocking pain almost like I hit an open nerve shoulders forward to expand the ribs and let them go back it pops and doesn t feel like my ribcage wants to align back up underneath my scapula
By your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of the back and forth.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of the chest.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and Thiocolchicoside.
5. Start calcium and vitamin D3 supplements for better stability of ribs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar,
Pulmonologist
