Brief Answer:
Likely to be muscular origin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Right side rib pain and back pain are likely to be due to muscular (myalgia or muscle spasm) or musculoskeletal origin.

I will keep this possibility first and will advise you to continue using over the counter pain reliever medications with muscle relaxant like mebeverine 200 mg for symptomatic relief for couple of more days.

However,I would like to ask some more information here,

Do you have any history of any injury or fall down?
Since when you are feeling rib-back pain?
Is there any other symptoms apart from rib pain?
Is the pain is constant or intermittent?

Meanwhile,avoid heavy weight lifting and do hot fomentation frequently in a day.

If pain does not subside even after this symptomatic treatment then it should be further evaluated by examination and tests.

So,you will need to go for
1) routine blood works and EKG
2) vitamin B12 and D3 level to rule out neuropathic pain with
3) x-ray and MRI scan of chest and back to rule out any nerve route compression or bony injury.

for which you may need to consult ortho-surgeon who will do complete medical history and physical examination with some relevant tests.

Hope this will help you and get back to me with more information.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra

Brief Answer:
go for MRI scan

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for sharing more information.

In case no injury then the chances of pain I'd likely related to job work that you have mentioned.

X-ray and MRI scan would be advisable to find out the root cause and for which you will need to see ortho-surgeon on urgent basis who will know about it.

Meanwhile, continue with symptommatic medications as you are taking for temporary relief.
