Any Suggestion For Waking Up With Sore Ribs Every Morning?

Hi. I've been waking up with sore ribs for the last week. It eventually goes away after I take a hot shower. The initial problem was waking up with a sore back, sore ribs n had a hard time breathing. That went away but it came back in the early evening. I assumed it was indigestion so I took alka seltzer. 2 days later , I woke up with sore ribs- on both sides. And Its been happening every morning . It's been 3 days. Can you help me?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the gastric irritation, may be due to the peptic ulcer, irritant foods, alcohol etc.
It also may be a poly arthritis as well.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, vitamin D, and calcium supplements. And pain killers when ever there is pain.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
