[|Human|] 2 weeks ago, I woke up in the morning with severe pain under the right side of my rib cage. I waited 4 days and then attempted to go to physical Therapy (due to a mv accident in July). When the Pt looked at it, my right side of my torso had what appeared to be a red rash. Because of how painful it was, he asked me to go to the Urgent Care. I did so, and after a side chest x-ray and urine test came back fine, the MD thought I had shingles. They started me on Shingles medication. On the Friday morning that I first woke up with this, I had vomited once the night before and had what looked like hives around my right torso area. I took a bath and it went away. I took 2 weeks off from. PT, and tried to go back this week. The pain is still a lot, and if I raise my hands to the sky, there is a visible dent in that area. The dent is there all the time. The pain has spread around my side and into my right upper shoulder blade. I also see a massage therapist who said it was really inflamed last week, and this week she said it felt like it was changing and asked me to get into see my GP asap. I am not able to see him until next week. Also, appx. 10 days before this pain started, I had severe chest pain only left side, to the point where I thought I was having a heart attack, but everything was fine. Any thoughts?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Don't do massage therapy with these symptoms. This will worsen your symptoms. Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Sit with proper back and chest support. 5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  6. Apply alternate ice pack and warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
