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.
I have been having pain under my ribs, like I have shingles but no rash. Been going on for six months. I am going to a pain clinic who has been giving me an epidural in my lower back. Now I feel like I have a yeast infection, burning, discharge etc. I am frustrated ! Any idea s ? Yes I am a diabetic also .
As per your symptoms there is possibility of deep infection/lymph node involvement.
Yes you need further investigation as symptoms are not decreasing after long period. I will advise to do further blood investigation and FNAC should be done. MRI scan can be done if clinically required. Till time you can start medication and antibiotic.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
