What Causes Pain In Ribs?
Hello, Since September 17 of 2013, I have been in pain in my xyphoid process and radiating to my right costal ribs. This is getting maddening. I am in the ER or at my Physicians office at least once a week. The lethargy is bad and I feel worse all the time. I didn t waken till 2p. today. I ve had 2 siblings die of cancer, my sister of filopian tube ca. and my brother of Pancreatic ca. Any advice? Thanks so much, Mark Mulvaney

Till time take analgesic and neurotropic medication like methylcobalamine.
