Hi im 86 years old , I was fine in the morning and at 4pm I started feeling pain on my right hip and my right rib cage area and I have not been hungry today due to gases and when I stand up the pain gets stronger in my right hip and right rib cage. Please advise if this can be due to something?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you are 86, and this pain can be either a referred pain due to systemic illness or may be a muscular one. Due to degenerative changes happening in the human physiological process as aging progress we need to have a thorough clinical examination and may be some blood routine to examine the cause. In my clinical practice I deal on regular basis with more of the geriatrics and found that these pains are muscular at most times. But without knowing your personal medical past history I will not be able to comment more.it could be even just happened due to the sleeping posture and may need rest and painkiller. But I will advise for a thorough examination and rule out the systemic illness which can help the medical management much easier to help further. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
