What Causes Numbness And Tingling Feeling Under Right Rib?
Brief Answer:
nerve irritation/shingles/muscle spasms
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
There are many conditions that could cause this sensation. It could be some nerve irritation. It is also possible that you are in the early stages of a shingles outbreak so if you develop worsening pain or rash see your doctor right away for treatment
You may be having some muscle spasms in the muscles between the ribs.
Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (dehydration can cause muscle spasms) and take a multivitamin daily.
See your doctor if this persists for an exam and blood tests to clarify the diagnosis.
