I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 59 and has been dealing with this intense pain in her inner ribs. The doctor we saw recommended an X-ray, and the results showed something like inhomogeneous opacity in both upper zones and something called febrocity. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something serious?

go for test
