What Does Pain In The Rib Cage And Upper Abdomen Indicate?
Within the last two weeks or so I have developed pain in my rib cage and upper abdomen. I also feel it in my chest, back (spinal cord included), and lower neck. I am a 36 yr/old smoker. I smoke an average of almost a pack a day. I cough in the morning time and cough up a good amount of mucus. The cough goes away once I get going but I do couch mucus up throughout the day and evening. The pain in my upper back and lower neck have seemed to get progressively worse as time goes on. I am going to the ER after work today so that I can get checked out. I m very concerned and worried as to what it may be. What are your thoughts?
