I'm having this pain in my mid-chest, but it only happens with certain movements. I've talked to a bunch of doctors about it, even had some tests like an ECHO done, but everything seems normal. They mentioned it might be muscular pain or something called costochondritis. How long does something like this usually take to feel better? I'm really scared to even pick up my kid right now. Everyone has just suggested using Volini gel. Do you have any home remedies in mind that might help with this?

I've been dealing with this annoying sternum pain for about three years now. Its not super intense; its more like a mild ache where the rib meets the sternum. It tends to ease up a bit when I do exercises like push-ups or apply ointments, but then it comes back after a while. I'm really looking to get rid of it for good. I'm wondering if there are any specific tests I should consider? Also, if you could recommend any doctors around Navi Mumbai who might be able to help, I'd really appreciate it.

The symptoms you are describing could be related to costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the sternum. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen. The recommended dosage is usually 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. In addition, applying a topical NSAID cream such as Diclofenac gel to the painful area may also provide relief. You can apply a thin layer of the gel to the sternum area up to 4 times a day. It is important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any other potential causes of your symptoms. You may need to undergo tests such as an X-ray or MRI to further evaluate the condition of your sternum and ribs.

I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two. I usually sleep on my left side, and I've had some fractured vertebrae diagnosed in my mid-upper back along with osteoporosis. Most of the time, the pain lessens after an hour or two, but today it was really bad. Could this be related to my previous back issues or osteoporosis? What should I do about this?

use zerodal mr and If the pain becomes severe or persists for longer periods, or if you begin to notice symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty moving your arm, its important to seek medical attention immediately, as these could be signs of more serious nerve involvement.
