Is there a tablet that can replace the Penidure 12 lakh injections? I've been taking these injections since I was 5 years old, and I'm curious if there's an alternative.

I've been experiencing this weird pain in my bones, especially around my ribs, and sometimes it stretches up to my chest bone and collarbone. It's been going on for a few months now. It doesn't always actively hurt, but when I press on it, it's tender and starts to ache. The worst was when it felt really severe in the ribs and chest, but now it's not as intense. However, when I take a deep breath, I can kind of feel those spots like where it used to hurt. Plus, my ribs are still pretty tender to touch, particularly in certain areas that even reach out to my armpits. Should I be worried about this or get it checked out?

If pain is on touching then it's muscule pain. Simple pain killer will give u RELEIF. No need to worry
