Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs

Been suffering from low back pain since few weeks. X-ray suggests mild spondylitis at cervical and lumbar region with subtle endplate osteophytes in both regions. Questions: 1. I am getting pains around ribs region on left side (front & back) recently and also suffering from pain around left collar bone for a few months. Could these pains related to cervical spondylitis? 2. How to diagnose the pains are related to this? 3. Any sort of treatment available for the pains reported above? 4. Any treatment available for osteophytes? I am attaching my x-ray reports for reference. Need your expert advise. Thank you so much.

From last two days, I am having a tolerable but continued pain on my left part of chest which includes muscles above rib cage, neck,shoulder, upper arm. It started out as a uncomfortable fast rate heartbeat and then the pain distributed to the nearby connecting body area when I tried to massage the muscles at that moment. Slowly the heartbeat decreased but there is a slight prolonged pain (like cramp) in the muscles of my left upper chest region (e.g. neck, shoulder, upper arm, and center part of left chest) I am an above average obese. 5 ft 9inch with 105kg wt. I have never had any history of chronic illnesses. Is this alarming? What should I do. Was this event normal or is it an example of cardiac malformed behavior?

I got left back pain this march and that cause heavy chest and breathlessness. I visited a doctor here in MS Ramaya College Hospital and did X-Ray and ECG. He said everything is normal. Gave me some pain killer and pain relief ointment. But It didn't helped. I went to my native (Guwahati) and visited another doctor and showed him the earlier reports. He said do CT-Scan and Some blood test. I did and he said every thing looks fine. And gave me some calcium tablet Hydrochloride tablets . I also used heading pad on my back. The back pain reduced but a stiffness is there. But my heavy chest is there and I feel pain in my ribs. Both said muscle strain. But whatever it is I need a fix. Please give some advice. Thank You

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?”

My mother is 73 years old and has several health problems. She had gout in 2023 and suffered an ischemic stroke in may 2026, along with her gout problem. Since her stroke, she has been urinating frequently but only passing a small amount each time, around 40–100 mL. After being discharged from the hospital following stroke treatment, she became dizzy and fell, resulting in a broken rib. She is now experiencing severe pain whenever she moves. Just lying on bed with no improvement since 3 month.medication of stroke is going. My problem is there is no special or doctor nearby, and my mom seem cannot travelled far due to pain and weakness, don't know which doctor i should see. Is there anyone who can advise on what i should do or which specialist i should see?

Hello Doctor, For more than 1 year, I have had right-sided pain/heaviness between the ribs and abdomen, sometimes felt toward the back or lower right abdomen. It usually starts when I hold urine, even for a few minutes after drinking water. Since yesterday, it has become continuous. I also have a weak/low-pressure urine stream and sometimes feel incomplete bladder emptying. After drinking only ~200 mL water, I may get an urge within 15 minutes and urinate 2–3 times within a short period. Previous ultrasound showed no kidney stone or hydronephrosis, but around 273 mL urine remained in my bladder after urination. Previous KFT was normal. Could this be urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying, and could it be affecting my kidney? What tests should I do now? Thank you.

Had pneumonia 3 months ago with severe cough and yellow sputum for 20-25 days, followed by sudden right-sided chest pain. While deep-breath, walking, and heavy-lifting pain has mostly subsided, shortness of breath started 2-2.5 months later. Chest X-ray showed normal lungs but indicated a possible 7th rib fracture (?) on the right side. Spirometry (PFT) was normal, though SpO2 was 94%. Current treatment includes 10 days of antihistamines and Foracort 200 Inhaler (twice daily) for 1 month (completed 15 days), but breathlessness persists.
