What Do Hurting Ribs Radiating To Back And Shoulder After Being Treated For Pneumonia Mean?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have been to the doctor 2 times. First time, it was a severe sinus infection, week later had to go back, turned into pneumonia, had to go back third time. All 3 times I was given a shot, antibotics & c-pack first time, steroids, antibotics & shot second and antibotics & shot third. I have been hurting under my ribs and has gone to my back and shoulder. Do you think the pneumonia has gotten worse? Do I need to go back to the doctor?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your concern in depth .
* This indicates lung pathology giving nerve endings pain with hurting ribs
radiating to back and shoulder .
* If not carried out x-ray chest with or without CT thorax is a must for
proper diagnosis and management guidelines .
Hope this clears your query .
