I am a 32 year old male. I have back pain in my mid back area, right at the lower portion of my rib cage. It causes discomfort when I take deep breaths. I have just started sleeping on a harder mattress and Im not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache. It is related to hard mattress. Hard mattress cause back pain. Treatment of back pain is exercises, NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(On DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous sitting. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To father investigate X-RAY AND MRI of the region is advised. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query
