In Pain, Can Anyone Suggest What This Would Be?!


Question: In Pain, Can Anyone Suggest What This Would Be.?
Ive got a horrible pain just underneath my ribcage. Its in like the middle, its not to the left or the right. Mind you its quite random, theres a constant pain in the middle and somtimes it streches to the left. This pain comes and goes alot, im feeling it at the moment. Its really actually quite painful and uncomfatable. I do get these quite alot randomly. Anyone know what this is.? Thank You.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You know, this could be any number of things and without a complete history would be very difficult to determine what it might be. Could range from uneven distribution of surfactant (the lubricant that allows our lungs to move along the inside of our chest wall and commonly missing/underdeveloped in premies), might be heart related, gas, etc. Although the gall bladder is on the right side under the liver, could also be that. Your doc will ask you questions like, what makes it worse/better, to rate the pain on a scale of 1-10, 10 being unbearable, how long you've had it, etc. Will listen to your lungs and heart where we can't do that here and may order a chest xray. Pain has a purpose...the body's way to communicate that something isn't right. May well want to listen to it and follow up. Best wishes.....Health Question & Answer

I went to a & e the once with exactly the same symptoms. They saw me straight away as they always do now with chest pain. After loads of test they said I had a strained intercostal muscle.,(which are between the ribs) This strain cam about from regular lifting of a heavy laptop bag. I still get it from time to time.

The only prescription for a cracked rib in pain killers
The only prescription for an intercostal strain is pain killer eg ibuprfen or paracetomol etc

It will pass... don't lift any heavy stuffHealth Question & Answer
