Suggest Remedies For Left-sided Ribs Pain
Hello, The pain under left ribs that spread to back on coughing and being present for 2 weeks can be due to one of the following reasons: Costochondritis. Nerve root pain due to affection at a spinal level should also be considered in view of the past history of cancers. Hence I would advise you the following: Get examined by your Doctor to see for local tenderness at ribs and back too. MRI of the thoracic spine may be needed to SE for a possible cause. X-ray of chest to see for any reasons in the lungs or pleura. This will help for a specific diagnosis and thus proper management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
