Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain From Scapula Area To The Ribcage?
For the past few weeks, I have had intermittent pain from my left scapula area around the ribcage under my left arm, breast and radiates down to just under the ribcage. I have had two bouts of short lived fevers of 101, a 24 hour spike in B/P of 202/103 and light headedness. went to the ER last week and they checked my heart. Heart checked out clean along with blood work. If I am having a bout of pain, eating makes it worse. What is happening here?
you must check up with a chest physician and have an x ray of the chest,xray shall reveal status of lung and rib cage from which cause would be evident. treatment follows the diagnosis. In meantime, continue pain relievers if prescribed.
