I Had Bursitis In My Left Shoulder And Got A

Posted on Sat, 28 Dec 2019

Question: I had bursitis in my left Shoulder and got a cortisone shot so shoulder has been somewhat better; at the same time about 3 weeks ago I had an intermittent ache between the breastbone and right between the two ribs just below my nipple also left side. It definitely felt muscle skeletal and actually went away for two weeks coincidentally after the shoulder shot but has gradually come back over the past couple of days. No injuries! Mild 2/3 on a 10 but annoying. Any thoughts on issue and treatment? Thanks

COSTOCHONDRITIS

Detailed Answer:
HI
THIS LOOKS LIKE A MUSCULOSKELETAL PROBLEM, SOMETHING LIKE COSTOCHONDRITIS.
I SUGGEST TO TAKE AN INTI INFLAMMTORY FOR A FEW DAYS(5 DAYS) ON A REGULAR BASIS, DO HEAT APPLICATION LIKE FOMENTATION AND APPLY DICLOFENAC GEL, THE PROBLEM SHOULD GO AWAY.
