Can Costochondritis Cause Stomach Pain From A Possible Rib Injury?
Question: Can costochondritis cause stomach pain from a possible rib injury from landing on feet hard? I had this injury about a month ago and it felt like my stomach jiggled. I was snow skiing and experienced soreness the next day. About 3-4 days later my left mid ribs started aching and now I am having some stomach discomfort and bloating feeling
Brief Answer:
no it will not cause stomach pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Costochondritis cannot cause stomach pain or bloated feeling. But if you are taking pain killers or other medicines like calcium etc than these all can cause gastritis and the symptoms like stomach pain or bloating. Let me know if you are on any medications for Costochondritis (Gastritis is one of the commonest side effect of painkiller and calcium).
Costochondritis directly does not cause stomach problems.
Hope I am clear. I will be happy to help you further if you have any more concerns.
Wish you good health.
Thanks
