Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs
Afraid of muscle dystrophy
Hi sir,
Before 2 years I had an accident.
For next 5 months I didn't have any symptoms but later I started to feel my left side of body is thinning.
Like I can feel as if my skin is thinning in left side.
I can feel bones on left ribcage than right.
I feel left neck thinner than right,feel like swallowing from left.and feel like left cheek is smaller than right.
I got brain and spine mri, both are normal with mild scolosis.
But every time I wake up, I feel as if my left body is lighter and right body is heavier.
Feel left thigh is smaller than right
I am afraid if it's musle dystrophy ans as it is progressive it will become more and more thin.
There are few points where if I touch on my left rib back and side, muscle feels squishy and tender.
Please help , I am afraid if I'd be disabled.
Currently strength wise left is fine but I feel one side is thicker and other side thin so I can feel the ribs in back side.

Muscle imbalance
I am 23 male.
65 kg , 5ft8.
As you can see in the pictures attached my body is skinny fat. Skinny everywhere but the stomach area.
I am not very active but I do have brisk 30mins walk daily. No gym as of now. My diet is average for someone my age (veg).
Complaint -
1. The muscles around latissimus doresi muscle are very weak. My ribs show through especially on my right side. And my costal ribs are also flaring from the left side.
2. Chest fat ( checked myself for gynecomastia but no hard lump found).
Can both these issues be fixed with exercises and diet changes or do they need some other form of medical invention ?

Spleen enlargement
During a routine ultrasound for my pregnancy yesterday, the tech took measurements of my kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder due to my pain. Everything was noted to be normal except my spleen being 'slightly' enlarged to 14.1 cm (i have a visible lump right below the ribs). I have been experiencing pain on the left side of my abdomen, from my ribs to no lower than my belly button area for about a week. I was seen by my OBGYN who claimed it was one of my babies flipping from breech to vertex. However the pain has not gone away, and the baby hasn't changed positions again. It hurts more to lay on that side and I have been feeling a gurgling sensation every now and then. The pain is a relatively constant ache but not bad enough to make me cry. Should I be concerned and what can I do to help the pain? When should I go to the Emergency room?

Mild Shooting/pinch pain in left chest
I have mild shooting/pinching pain in my upper left chest both back and front side. On the left shoulder back it feels like a burning sensation pain continuously. And when i compress my chest by exhaling there is mild pain all around my rib cage (especially in the front center of the rib cage). Even my left arm feels this same pain when l press around the elbow. This pain generally increases every 3-6 months for few days and then stay in the back of my mind always.
I had broderline high cholesterol and Bp 2 years back, but now i have controlled my weight and everything else is normal(BP, Pulse and weight).
This pain is continuous and worries me a lot. Should I consider this as some heart blockage problem and get some tests done or just some gastric issue happening again and again. Please suggest!

3. I have under gone endoscopy and doctor confirmed I have acidity. But taking medications it is not working.
4. Is ribs paininng to left and right is there for more than 5 months. Is that pain will cause because of anxiety and depression. I do yoga and walking.
