Pain under right breast and ribs
I'm suffering from constant pain under right breast and which radiates to right side ribs(under arms). It feels like some kind of arrest in right chest but I can clearly sense pain is near ribs. I had chest x ray done, reports are normal. Thought it could be muscle catch, got physiotherapy for last 3 days, also applied heat pad but no result. Whenever I cough, sneeze I feel a catch or a pull near the pain area.
I'm not sure to which doctor I should consult? Should I go to Pulmonologist or Ortho or any other doctor. Please suggest.
