Clostrochondritis
I am having an ache in right lower rib and upper left rib specially while breathing and lying down. Also some upper back pain is there. My ECG chest xray upper abdominal USG ,LFT , pancreatic enzymes all came out to be normal.So doctor diagnosed me with clostrochondritis. It has been almost three week that I am having the problem but it's only two days that I am taking anti inflammatory medicine as I was misdiagnosis as my problem mocked a abdominal problem. Can clostrochondritis take this much time to heal? Another thing is I had lap choly in last October. From Dec I developed very mild and less frequent upper chest ache occasionally.So I feel whatever has developed, it developed gradually.Please help
Thanks in advance

If it's costochondritis, it may go off with antiinflammatory medication in some days. Since u have a history of lap chole it's better to consult a surgeon.

Old lap chole.
Chest pain unrelenting.
You write your USG is normal (it should be: missing gall bladder).
Don't know whether you have costo chondritis or not, but it can linger on for weeks, and even months...depending on the proper etiology.
It is important to know whether you had any known or unknown blunt injury to the chest.
Next Steps
You can apply diclofenac gel ( Voveran ) on the part which is painful to touch. Twice daily.
NO MASSAGE.
Health Tips
Any mild pain killer may be used.
Voveran SR 75 twice daily for 5 days
Still in trouble, should go for online consultation.
Take care.
