Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain Below The Ribcage
My wife has had pain on her right side below the ribcage for two weeks. It is a constant sharp pain. The emergence room physician said her blood work was good her ultrasound for the gallbladder was fine. Yet it is still there. I myself can squeeze her side and feel it is a small sphere shaped structure that is movable freely. She is an African-American female, 46 years of age weighing 325lbs. Please advise on what this may be.
She could be having localised muscle spasm. You can apply hot water bottle over that area. Take pain killer and muscle relaxant tablet like Diclofenac + Thiocolchicoside combination. Follow ergonomics at work. Avoid bad posture on sitting and sleeping.
