Accepted Answer

The HRCT report indicates a small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe, which suggests some scarring or fibrosis in the lung tissue. While this could be due to past inflammation or mild injury, it's important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. It's not necessarily a serious issue, but it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

Im experiencing swelling in my lower rib muscles on the left side after an intense march past practice. The pain is really severe, and its hard to explain how bad it is. Can you suggest what I should do to manage this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles in your lower rib area from intense physical activity, like march past practice. I recommend resting, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and treatment.
