.
I have had bilateral lower costal margin (lower rib margin) pain, flank pain for about 8 years .
Pain pattern
Pain starts within 1 second of sitting.
Standing reduces the pain by about 90% within 10 seconds.
Walking causes only 2–5% pain.
Before getting out of bed in the morning, I have no pain.
Lying down causes about 20% pain.
The pain is spread across both lower rib margins, not one small point.
The sensation is mainly pressure/tightness, not burning or stabbing.
The pain is NOT affected by
Deep breathing
Coughing
Sneezing
Meals
Leaning forward
Hard vs. soft chair
Pressing on the painful area
Tests reported as normal
CBC
ESR
CRP
Vitamin D
Vitamin B12
Urine tests
Chest X-ray
Abdominal ultrasound
Thoracic (dorsal) spine MRI
Upper GI endoscopy
Musculoskeletal ultrasound of the anterior abdominal wall
Chest wall MRI has been performed, and the report is expected today.
Treatments tried..."I have just received my chest MRI report today."
My father had pain in right leg and he was unable to move. We took him to doctor in hospital where the doctor asked to get him admitted as it can be a case stroke I don't know why
We got him admitted on 1st july they did an MRI and said it is normal
Now they said the oxygen level is dropping so they transferred him in MICU
Now on 7th july they told us to buy or rent an BIpap machine along with an oxygen cylinder and to hire a caretaker
Now i have some doubts
Whether they got him admitted because the patient is a retired pensioner and everything is covered under insurance
The hospital just started a caretaking service are they promoting it
And how do i make sure whether a bipap machine is necessary or not because he had no breathing issues before getting admitted
Please help me if anyone can
I am having difficulty in breathing
My oxygmeter shows less than 90
I am a smoker but stopped now
When I sleep sideways right side I get suffocated
Hi I m shivam rajput 15 years old and a class 9th student i recently visited a chest specialist to check my asthama condition I was going through cough and sneezing. i wnated to know wether my report is good or not and should I start doing swimming ?
Two months ago, I had a severe cough and right-sided chest pain during breathing. A chest X-ray revealed a pneumonia patch. I was treated with 3 days of IV fluids and medications. Now, my cough is completely gone, but the right-sided chest pain has remained unchanged for 2 months. More importantly, I have recently developed new, mild breathing difficulty (breathlessness) which was not present during the initial infection. I am unaware of my current oxygen levels, but initially, SpO2 was 96-98%. Please advise on the next diagnostic steps or if a repeat X-ray is needed.
