Pain and burning in the ribs and on the back. Diagnosed with spondylosis. Tingling and pain in the shoulder. Need help
Patient: My right side where my ribs are it always is in pain. If I try to massage the area then I get this overwhelming itching, burning and painful feeling internally. The pain goes down through my back to the buttocks on right side only. This is very painful. I ve had the same pain for over 20 years. I was diagnosed with Spondelosis and have have to fusion one on the neck c5 & c7. When I tell my doctor about this pain he seems to blow it off and refers back to the neck. Now after some sometime as passed 12 yrs after surgery I have expirenced my neck to begin to have pain again and now some tingling under my left shoulder blade and a painful area about the 5-6inches under my left breast . The pains on my right side have increased and I can t get any relief. Please help. Doctor: Hello, Your pain which has persisted for so long must have been seen and evaluated by doctors and in such case it may be difficult to arrive at a specific cause of pain. What I would suggest is to try different medications for such pain in consultation with a neurologist and try to achieve pain relief instead of a diagnosis. I am sure that you can get some benefit with medications. Good luck.
