Discomfort On Right Side Near Rib Cage, Feeling Of Something There. What Could This Be?

Hi , I have been experiencing some discomfort for the past two weeks on my right side near my rib cage, just below my right chest. It feels as if there is something in there. While I can't feel anything from the outside , when I bend down or move a certain way it just feels like there is something there. Does that make sense. Just moved from San Antonio to Cleveland and searching for a dr which hasn't been easy. Not necessarily feeling pain but just a weird sensation as if something is in there.

Hello

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your history there is possibility of rib contusion or costochondritis.
Rib contusion is visible on X ray . I will advise to consult to orthopaedic surgeon.

Medication like muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain along with it use rib support belt.
You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
