I'm having really bad pain in my rib cage and back. I've already seen orthopedic doctors and a physiotherapist, and even tried acupuncture, but the pain just won't go away. Can you suggest any good treatments for this?

I'm a bit worried because my mom got prescribed Sompraz 40 for her Rheumatic Arthritis side effects, but the pharmacy gave us Sompraz D 40 instead. Do you think it's okay to use this one or should I try to get it exchanged for the original prescription? Just want to make sure she's taking the right medication.

Sompraz and Sompraz D 40 are related but not identical medications. _Sompraz_ typically contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid. _Sompraz D 40_, on the other hand, is a combination medication containing Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps with gastrointestinal motility. If your mom's doctor prescribed Sompraz, it's likely they intended for her to take only the Pantoprazole. Taking Sompraz D 40 might not be harmful, but it's essential to clarify with her doctor to ensure she receives the intended treatment.
