What Causes Pain In The Back And Left Side Of The Lumbar And Rib?

Hi Thank you Dr. I have pain left side. In around L rib, radiate front to back, back to front. Also down left side lumbar, hip, leg and foot. I do have spine issues, however, this pain is different and is more intense. Today, I woke after a little sleep, maybe 2hrs. and what looks like 2 black eyes. More than dark circles, like blood vessels. Can you help me?

Hello,

Dark circles may be indicative of developing liver problem, stress, inadequate sleep or heredity. The skin below the eyes is thinner & hence the blood vessels show as dark circles.

Apply cold compress, tea bags & take extra sleep. Take iron supplements or iron rich food.

The pain you are suffering from can be due to spine issues, costochondritis, intercostal muscular pain. Medical conditions like IBS, GERD, Fibromyalgia may cause it.

You are suggested to take fiber rich food & stay hydrated. Avoid constipation(take laxatives at bed time if required).

Take NSAIDS(Naproxen), one sos when required. You can take antacids & PPI's for relieve. Maintain a low BMI & active life, do regular walking, take home made healthy food.

Avoid addictions if any. Stay away from junk food. Get clinically examined, assessed & treated at the earliest. Your treatment will depend on the severity of the pathology detected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
