Patient: Hi i have pain in the left side abdominal ribcage under my left pec about 2 and half inches down. i went to the gym earlier and ive never experienced this before when i breath in theres slite pain but not a great deal, also im finding it hard to eat. could you help? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.Read the history and understood it. This is a classical costo-chondritis: I would suggest the following treatment.-Rest to the area by means of strapping with the Adhesive tapes during the deep Expiration phase. This will limit the movement, reduce the pain and give rest for healing to occur.-Anti-inflammatory medicines in full dose as per the weight.-Steroids if required for its strong anti-inflammatory role.-Lasix to reduced the edema.This sort of a treatment helps all my patients. and should help you too.
