Question 1

had inflamed muscle between sternum and ribs, still hurts after one week on meds.now my back/ribs/hips hurt almost like a sunburn.my chest still hurts.?

Accepted Answer

It's All Connected: First possibility: reaction to meds.
Second: developing rsd.
Third: i've seen this a lot-pain starts in one area & spreads to another because the cause is not treated. Md's will all miss this. Osteopathic manipulation might have relieved the muscle/rib dysfunction which caused the original pain. Leaving it unresolved and covering it with meds allowed dysfunction & pain to spread. Go see a good do.

Question 2

my body is'nt propotional as a male body - wider chest/hips, narrow waist (short lower ribs). any exercises to expand lower ribs for rectangular body?

Accepted Answer

You would be better: Helped by working out and adding muscle and letting go of extra fat.  Every body is different.  Try to accept yours.  People like you for who you are, not for the shape of your trunk.  If they don't, it's their loss.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

she is feeling too much pain left lower side of chest and right upper side of hips can u please tell me pain occur only one side? and what it's treat

Accepted Answer

Pain can be anywhere: Need more information. It is important to see your family physician and have her do a complete physical.  Pain is a signal that something is not right and it is important to find the cause.

Question 4

hi.im24,f. hv scolio and mps.is it posible i have fibromyalgia? cause im feeling a nvr ending pain on my bck chest neck and hips.also get tired easily

Accepted Answer

FMS?: Possible. Your PCP can confirm or rule out that diagnosis, and provide you the treatment &amp; relief you need.

Question 5

i have red itchy bumps around my hips and chest?

Accepted Answer

Rashes: can be many many things.  Sorry but for us to properly evaluate rashes we need to see and feel them.  Please see healthcare provider to have this evaluated.  Best of luck.

Question 6

what should i do about chronic hip, abdomen, chest & back pain?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Chronic pain in multiple locations needs to be evaluated by a physician.

Question 7

had 4 chest xrays earlier this year and apron only went up to my hips - can that effect my egg quality/quantity? trying to get pregnant.

Accepted Answer

No: A lead apron over or at the level of your hips shields your uterus and ovaries. It is unlikely that 4 chest x-rays would harm your ovaries anyway as the radiation dose is very small.

Question 8

i know that a waist-heavy waist-to-hip ratio has increased risk but does a lot of fat on the upper body (chest primarily) have similar risk?

Accepted Answer

Get a 'Feel' For It: Sounds like that might be male gynecomastia (better known as 'man boobs').If so, it's a complicated issue. Part genetic(good luck with that!), part diet (in general losing weight), part exercise (calorie expenditure, especially interval training and resistance training)and avoiding a myriad of foods, products and activities that may alter your estrogen/testosterone ratio.You've just begun, laddy!

Question 9

yesterday i woke up with a i quarter sized indent in my chest between my ribs. last night you not only could you see the indent you can see every bone from my hips to collarbone. today im hurting from my hips to collarbone. no injurys whats going on?

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: A college-aged woman with a slim build should be able to see some outline of all her bones from the hips up to the collarbone. If she is not slim and normally cannot see outlines of her bones, there is no way for her to suddenly lose so much body fat overnight such that she can see all her bones by morning. If that happened, it may mean a change in visual perception, and not a change in body fat.

Question 10

my hip pops every time i move my knee towards my chest and down. any ideas? it's a painful deep pop.

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Snapping hip syndrome, sometimes called dancer's hip, is a condition in which you hear a snapping sound or feel a snapping sensation in your hip when you walk, run, get up from a chair, or swing your leg around, usually is not paifull.
When become painful we think about inside the joint problems.
