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.
My skin hurts under my breast and to the back. My doctor said it may be shingles but the redness hasn t shown yet. The pills she gave is working but still hurts under the breast [no lumps] and I still have pills to go [3 days worth]. My question is I feel like throwing up. Is that normal with shingles?
Hi, Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen hundreds of cases with similar complaints.As you have mentioned pain under breast so it is Costochondritis Please find my advice below- 1)Apply heat to the affected area three times a day upto 30 mins
2)Do muscle relaxation exercises
3)Take (Combiflam) if pain hurts you only otherwise not
4) take prednisone 10 mg for 7 days and 5 mg next 7 days and 2.5 mg next 7 days
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
