A member asked:
I have pain under my ribs on the left side it has increased and gets worse when i bend that way or lay on it. my shoulder hurts on that side too especially when i lift it. could these be connected? my pcp is not very helpful and kind of dismissive.

Possibly: This really should be evaluated by a PMR doc or orthopoedist. Shoulder muscles do attach to upper ribs, so,there may be a connection, but could not be certain from your information. I regret your primary doc did not take you seriously, you should demand better!
