Pain around left lower ribs

2018-03-10 14:27:17
My sister was diagnosed with Tuberculosis 3 years ago. Recently she complained  about pain around left lower ribs while breathing  and coughing. Today her CT scan report mentioned fusion of 1st and 2nd left ribs . Is this to be worried about. Is this condition treatable? If yes, then how? The pulmonologist suggested ultracet for the pain and nothing else. Shall we seek another treatment?
