I have been having some pressure from one side of my rib cage to the other and down to the navel area, I also feel a small amount of soreness on the skin. No seems to know what the problem is. By the afternoon I feel like I have an extra small rib cage on. What do you think?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.


I will advise you to do MRI thoracic spine, HRCT [CHEST] and EMG- NCV [nerve conduction study]
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
