A member asked:

I've been having chest pain for 3days now when i breathe or lay down or move. it gets better with painkillers. ekg and lung x ray were ok. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? rib fracture: sometimes acute rib fractures are difficult to see on cxr a limited bone scan may be helpful, pleurisy is another possibility and a ct of the chest may show what the cxr did not
