Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs
FibroScan Report Interpretation
I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any further tests.
Recently had a FibroScan. My report shows CAP 310 dB/m, liver stiffness 4.8 kPa, IQR/Median 22%, and 10 valid measurements. What do these results mean? Do I have fatty liver, and if so, what grade is it? Is 4.8 kPa normal, or does it indicate any liver fibrosis? Do I need any further tests or treatment, and when should I repeat the FibroScan?”

Clinical Assessment and Recommended Next
Doctor, I have been experiencing the following problems for quite some time: - I have excessive gas formation in my stomach. - I frequently experience stomach cramps and spasms. - After eating, my stomach feels very full and under pressure. - Sometimes, in the upper abdominal area (near the ribs), it feels as though something is pressing or gnawing from the inside. - Even slight pressure on any part of my body makes it feel as if that area is being pressed hard. - I have to use the washroom frequently. - I feel hungry very often; if I delay eating, I start to tremble, but the trembling stops after I eat. These issues are affecting my daily life. Please examine me thoroughly to determine the possible cause and, if necessary, prescribe the required medicines and tests.

Cold burn scar treatment
Hello Doctor,
About 3 months ago, I injured my left chest/rib area . To reduce the pain, I applied a very cold spray directly to the skin. After a few days, it caused a cold burn. The damaged skin peeled off over the following weeks, and the wound healed.
Now, after about 3 months, I have a flat brown scar on my left chest. It is not painful, not itchy, and not raised, but the pigmentation is still visible and is bothering me cosmetically.
I have attached a photo for your reference.
Could you please prescribe the most effective treatment to reduce or remove this scar and pigmentation? If appropriate, kindly advise whether I would benefit from silicone scar gel, hydroquinone/depigmenting cream, tretinoin, or any other medication or procedure.
Thank you.

My mother is a diabetic and has hypothyroidism. Also suffers the condition of cervical spondylitis. Prescribed medications for all of the above conditions are being taken and we have also started physiotherapy after a gap of 15 days. In these 15 days she had an episode of loose motion mucus formation in stool. After some dietary changes like including fruits and fibers and eliminating milk motion became normal. Since last 7,8 days she has pain and stiffness in abdomen and lumbar region. The pain is acute and spreads towards the rib area on both sides and chest..making it difficult to even breathe while lying down. She is not able to either lie down or walk or sit. Pain in the back spreads from shoulder to waist. Kindly help.
