I am a female 19 years old. For then past 6 weeks I have been experiencing very sharp pain in one location on my right side posterior rib cage without injury. the pain feels fine right when i get up in the morning but after about 10 minutes of starting daily activities i can feel the pain to begin to get worse. It feels as if the pain has been getting worse over the past 2 weeks. Im just curious what it could possibly be.
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. Also, a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As, you have pain in the posterior aspect of the chest cage, it could be a muscle spasm, since due to performing some physical activity, this could have occurred. Since you did not mention anything about the cold, cough etc., I do not think it will be a lung pathology. So, looks more of a muscular pain, which needs an attention. Undergoing physical therapy assessment and post that, Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should reduce your pain. As, pain level reduces, the therapist will teach the exercises.
