Upper back & rib pain
I have ribcage pain since 4/5 months.. upper back pain also. Sometimes pain felt in sternum also. When pressed. I could not understand what should I do? Check up done by general physician ( blood test) I had vit d deficiency and cervical spondylitis. Now vit d level okay after taking suppliments. What is the cause of ribcage pain not going? Is it lungs related? Need to concern?
