Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My name is Cindy. I have had pain in my left ribs every time I inhale for 106 days now. I have had a normal X-Ray, normal CT scan and my MRI said I have a bulging disc at T- 7 on the right side of my spine but my right side doesn't hurt, the left side does. They have put me through physical therapy, shots of steroids, nothing helps. I feel a bubbling sensation in my left rib area and it kind of wraps around on my left side as well. At the end of each breath I can hear a little bit of wheezing and I feel the movement/ bubbling sensation. I restrained a 17 year old at my job, twice. I work at a children's psychiatric hospital as a youth care specialist and Im required to restrain kids when they attempt to harm themselves. This is a workers- comp situation and I feel very passed around by doctors, November 14 will make it 4 months and Im no closer to having relief then when I first got hurt on July 14. Someone please help me.
