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?

View allI'm really concerned because every morning when I wake up, my ribs hurt, and sometimes it gets worse with each breath. It feels really unbearable, and I'm just not sure what to do since obviously, I can't stop breathing. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?
This type of pain in the ribs that worsens with breathing could be due to inflammation of the muscles between the ribs, a condition known as costochondritis. To help alleviate the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) or naproxen (e.g. Aleve) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing deep breathing exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently taking Sompraz 40, Actapro 100 mg, and Telma H 40 for my health conditions, and I recently found out that my ESR level is 22. I'm kind of worriedcould these medications be affecting my ESR readings?
The medications you're taking do not directly affect your ESR reading. If you're concerned about an elevated ESR or related symptoms (such as fever, unexplained weight loss, joint pain, etc.), it would be best to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can assess the root cause of your symptoms and whether further testing or adjustments to your treatment plan are necessary.
