[|Human|] I had a upper respiratory infection a month ago got medicine for that. Two weeks later I started having sharp pains under my left breast and still had a cough so went to after hours clinic nurse practitioner said she thought it was pleurisy. Did a chest X-ray everything was fine gave me cough medicine. My pain continued to get worse with a sudden move or deep breath. One day I was in the shower and noticed my ribs under my left breast was swollen and I still have pain. I made me an appointment with the nurse practitioner I normally see and she did a X-ray of my ribs and that X-ray was fine no fractured ribs gave me a steroid shot for inflamation and pain medicine and this seemed to help with the pain and swelling. Well yesterday I was at work and sneezed felt a pop the most aweful pain shot through my body. It hurt to breath to move a certain way and the swelling is back. Went straight to see that same np she gave me another steriodshot and a muscle relaxer and told me to go home and rest. Today Im in bed still having shooting pain with certain movement and still have swelling. What is going on?
[|AI|]  Hello these symptoms, you are having for one month, however, off & on. Taking irregular treatment without any proper diagnosis. As you mention that there was cough one month ago, somewhat improved. Now pain is in the ribs and not improving ever after steroid shots. May be due to these reasons, these include.1 Tuberculosis .2 Consolidation of lung (left side).3 Cancer .4 Pleural effusion. In my opinion consult a pulmonologist and get his opinion.
