Does Pain In Right Side Around The Ribs Indicate Pulled Muscle?
I m 32 years old, over weight and have had pain on my right side, below and at my ribs for a few days. I have been lifting things and cleaning deeply around my home two days before th pain started. I have been to two different doctors who do not believe that it is appendix or gallbladder, but said it might be, is this a pulled muscle or what?
Hi, As you are over weight and has h/o heavy work and lifting heavy weight indicates that there might be having muscular strain and spasm of inter-costal muscles producing this problem. Take some NSAID with muscle relaxant medicine for 2-3 days. Apply some muscle relaxant cream. Ok and take care.
