Having Pain In Rib Area. Prescribed Hydrocodone. MRI Showed Cyst In Kidney. Blood In His Urinalysis. Could This Be Muscular?

Likely to be a muscular sprain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have described is likely to be due to a muscular injury or a spasm or strain. The other possible causes have been ruled out after ultrasound scan and CT scan.
Any muscle strain will require time to heal and till then he can take any antiinflammatory analgesic containing acetaminophen and ibuprofen for pain relief. Physiotherapy and hot fomentation may provide early relief.
If the pain persists or he develops any new symptom like fever, restriction of movement etc. then seek prompt medical consultation. Otherwise just take adequate rest, a healthy diet and plenty of fluids for better healing.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Taking an analgesic and ibuprofen is likely to help him better than hydrocodone in controlling the symptoms. In case the pain persists, then do get some muscle relaxants prescribed.
