A member asked:

I have pain in my left side at my back by my ribs, when i try ro move or stand up its painful as well as when i breath sometimes i can feel it which is for 3 days already and not getting better, went to dr where she incorrectly diagnosed me for flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not flu: This is consistent with musculoskeletal discomfort- ?strain. Kidney origin, pinched rib cage nerve or Neurogenic discomfort,like shingles,isn't likely as motion appears to affect it significantly. Try hot alternating with cold applications, rubbing liniment,like bengay and taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for several days. See your physician again as needed.
