My wife is diagnosed of having soft bones of ribs, resulting pain at bottom of left breast. She is prescribed Shelcal-M & also Seradic Gel for gentle massage on chest & back and also hot compression with hot water bag. Primary care doctor feels it is macular pain due to over-exhaustion & stress. She is still not free of pain, after couple of days! Would you like to advise-if any further investigation is called for. Wish you would appreciate anxiety & help.
