pain and discomfort in right shoulder blade and under right rib cage and side

I have been having soreness in my right shoulder blade area and lower back with discomfort under my right rib cage.  this comes and goes.  Also my right shoulder blade area has been itching too.  It seems to be getting worse lately.  I have been having this discomfort off and on for years but I was able to put up with it thinking it was because I had a sway back.  I went to my doctor and she had me got to the lab for blood work to check my liver and kidneys.  My right hip has also been bothering me off and on as well.  The discomfort feels kind of like tingling and pressure under my ribcage and on my right side.  With pain around my sholder blade area.

I believe your shoulder pain and discomfort is based on complication of Mesenteric tumors or cancer that you may not realize.  I have the same problem.  I have a fatty tissues in my left leg (behind the upper kneecap), my right lower back, and upper right abdomen where the discomfort and pain appears on and off like hour by hour.  It gets worse since a year.  I kept going Emergency Room that no one really care to help or take a full test on me.  I end up discharge after a few hours.  I really get worse and worse.   I can barely move my right arm because of my right shouder pain and discomfort get worse.

I checked the internet sources about my health condition.  I noticed the cancer patients have the smiliar issue like you and me.

Email me ***@**** if you want to discuss more.

Thanks

Do some research on "slipping rib syndrome".  I have the same issues.  I've had this for 35 years.  Physical Therapy and Chiropractic adjustments have helped, but has not fixed the problem.

Hi, please get chest x ray and right upper abdomen ultrasound done to rule out pleural effusion which could be due to bacterial infection. Other causes could be cholecystitis, pancreatitis, rheumatoid presentation etc. Please get yourself investigated for autoimmune disorders along with ankylosing spondylitis.
