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 am 36F and Consulted a doctor in early June for chest discomfort and nighttime coughing. All diagnostic tests were normal, and I received a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma (CVA). Later in late June, contracted a viral infection that caused a deep chest rattle. I Completed a 1-month course of Foracort 400 (twice daily) exactly 5 days ago (July 5). The late-June viral chest rattle ('ghar-ghar') and active cough have now stopped. • Current Symptoms: Voice is completely hoarse and cracked. Experiencing a mild, persistent 'sinking' feeling in my chest, especially when exhaling or leaning back on pillows. The chest feels generally uncomfortable and not fully right, though it is hard to explain in words. Of late I am feeling a tiny bit breathless at times (might be due to heightened awareness/anxiety). No classic acidity, stomach discomfort, or hot belches, but the chest discomfort is noticeably more after heavy meals. Can I take foracort agin or what should I do?

Hi, Had occassional palpitns frm past 2yr. In jan21 chest discomfort felt freqently. So in feb21 did full body checks & things are normal (ecg, echo are normal). Later in aug21 started some moderate stomach pain & did abdominal usg, ct scan results were normal. In dec21 heaviness/discomfort in chest increased so again did ecg(normal), echo found Mild MVP with trivial MR. Dr suggested to take betacaptr20. Now I feel symptoms like -Discomfort, heaviness in chest while resting. Pounding hrt beat if I do some extra work. -Also now having pain in sternum area while pressing that area & while rotating my neck, shoulders. -Occasional stomach pain. So pls suggest: 1. Does mild MVP MR cause these symptoms or anything else to be ruled out. 2. Is there any link btw stomach pain & MVP. 3. Does MVP cause weight loss(lost 6kg in 6 months) 4. Does MVP cause sternum area pain. 5. Feb21 Echo was normal but Dec21 Echo found Mild mvp,mr. Will MVP develop in 8 mnths. 6. What steps to be followed next. Tnq

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?”
