For the past 10 days I have been greatly bothered by a sharp pain in my upper left chest area, which has been accompanied with extreme fatigue. The area that hurts is just under my left breast in the left upper rib area. My doctor dismissed it as chest wall pain and suggested I see a chiropractor. After 2 appointments with a chiropracter 5 days ago I feel ten times worse. I feel as though it is something major, because it does not feel like a bone issue, it feels like it is an organ pain to me. (it hurts underneath the rib bones) The pain is increasingly worse
Hello dear, welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This seems in relation with intercostal muscle or ligament related issue.* Guidelines for better recovery-Local application of heating pad followed by analgesic spray or ointment 3 times a day.- Lavender oil gives excellent relief.- Deep breathing gradual exercises, YOGA, walking in fresh air helps.- MRI work up is mandatory later on if required. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Regards.
