I ve been experiencing pain under my right breast along the bone for about 2 months now. I ve had an x-ray, blood work and an ultrasound to rule out several possible diagnosis . My doctor seems to think it s musculoskeletal and will heal on its own. When I go to the bathroom or relieve gas buildup, it usually feels better. Is he right?
Hello, Based on your description of your complaints, it may be related to musculoskeletal inflammation. As already chest x-ray and blood investigations are done it may not be anything serious. Sometimes due to faulty posture or due to carrying heavy weights the small joints connecting the ribs may get inflamed (Costco Chat Doctor. This can be treated by local hot fomentation and local pain relieving gel or balm. I would also advise you to observe how the pain behaves for next 6 weeks. You avoid lifting heavy weights and correct your posture.  Even after 6 weeks if the pain persists or increases then you can again consult your doctor, and you can do a CT SCAN if necessary. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
