Stabbing Pain And Bruising Near Rib Cage. Doctors Suspect Nerve Damage But Prescribed Medicines Unhelpful. Reasons?

Hi, Im in constant pain around the lower rib area. Ive gone to a varity of doctors who have told me a numerous amount of things. The key one they have decided to stick with was nerve damage. The issue im having is they have given me medication for it and none of it is helping. I was having more trouble waking up due to be extra sleepy. I have been offered others medication but gave me wicked headspins. My curiousty is, could you give me an awsner for this pain. In the lower area of the rib cage, its like a stabbing pain, it happens everyday at different levels pain. The main thing thats worrying me is, everytime latly I get into pain, scars or brusiers start to appear, like something has been beating me. But this pain comes and goes in every type of environment im in. Happened a few times at school (I do not get bullied, I respect and hang around the right people) ive passed out near hungry jacks and outside my house. There is no reason for the bruising, please try to give me an awsner.

Dear friend ...
Thanks for your query to HealthCare Magic

I read your concern and it seems that your symptom of constant pian in lower rib can be due to pleral infections that is primary cause of pain in lower rib with bruising .

I would suggest you to repeat chest xray imaging study and EKG which will definitely provide you better understanding about your problems.

You can ask me if any more doubts or if you have any previous results done by your doctor.

Hope this is useful.
regards
