Pain In The Back On The Right Handside Below The

Question: pain in the back on the right handside below the rib cage hurts when i breath in , it is getting better could it be a pulled muscle
Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
It could definitely be a pulled muscle. How did it happen? Abruptly, after a certain movement? Or gradually? And do you have shortness of breath? Fever?
If you feel alright, I recommend you take it easy for a few days and contact your doctor if it gets worse or you experience difficulties breathing. You can try aspirin or NSAIDs for pain relief.
Hope this helps.
Yes
