What Causes Radiating Pain In Ribs To Chest?

I went to the chiropractor a week or so ago b/c I had a pain that went from right side of my ribs and wrapped around to my chest. He said that my right side was messed up pretty good. I still feel this same spot on my back. It hurts to push on it. I dont know if its a knot or a pinched nerve. What can I do to make feel better? Do you apply heat or ice to something like this?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements.
3. Sit with proper beck support.
4. Apply warm water pad and ice packs alternatively.
5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs twice daily after food for 5 days.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
