[|Human|] Im male, 35 years old, 5ft 11, 17st, ive got this area on the right hand side of my stomach which is really tender to touch but if pressed it doesnt hurt, but if you brush against the area lightly it hurts, please put my mind to rest to what this problem is?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You are getting tenderness only for the brushing or just touching. The most probable causes are:Shingles meaning Herpes Zoster. Disc compression in the thoracic region. Neuritis of some sort, may a time these are idiopatChatDoctoreaning no definite cause can be found on any of the clinical or lab investigations. The treatment is done after investigations:MRI of the thoracic spine. Neurologists opinion. To check for Shingles This can be surgical if the disc is causing too mucChatDoctorpression. Medical like tablets of Amitriptyline or gabapentin only if required. Be assured once your Neurologist opines so.
