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.
What Does Severe Pain Between The Ribcage And Under The Breasts Indicate?
I have been having really bad pain in between my ribs-under my breast and under my left side ribs. The pain has gotten worse. It now hurts when I’m walking and when I take a deep breath and it hurts to touch. What could this be? And is it an emergency? Thank you!
It might be due to a condition called costochondritis. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
