What causes pain below back side of the ribs?
Patient: 44 male with extreme fatigue for last two( never tired and always stays busy). Woke up yesterday with extreme pain toward bottom of back rear ribs. Do not believe its his ribs, no s/s of any issues with the ribs. Was told 2 years ago after an ultrasound that he had no left kidney. Concerned there is something more going on here. Hasn t lost any weight, eating is normal. Doctor: HIWell come to HCMIt is advisable to get done X-Ray of chest to rule out the underlying cause of rib pain because this could be due to some lung pathology, chances of infection need to be ruled out, if this turns unremarkable then this is nothing to worry because this could be then due to muscular spasm, try to maintain good posture, try the medicines given bellow1) Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg once in day2) Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day3) Tab Chlorzoxazone once in dayalong with this better to come out of stress if you ever have this, take care.
