What Is The Pain In My Ribs When Laying Flat?
Good Evening Doctor. Recently I have pain in my left lower rib for 4 days. Cannot sleep flat. Its ok when i stand or sit. Doctor is asking for ECG,X-Ray, blood and urine test. Since I am in new country, the docor wanted to check all before giving any treatment. 2 weeks back before coming to new country, I checked ECG,Scan,Blood,Urine. I got high sugar Fasting 110mg/dl, after food 216mg/dl. I have Cholestrol 229mg/dl. Balance all ok. Pls advise the cause of pain as the pain is not due to any hurt. Thank you

You might have either thoracic facet joint or costovertebral joint irritation. no need to worry just take a bolster lye on in and roll on it up and down
You might feel a click and pain will dissappear
Another thing you can do is just do trunk rotation stretch and pectoralis stretch along with upper back bracing exercise .
This will definately help you.
Wish this will ease you.
Thanks
