Have Pain On Right Side Inside Ribs. Unable To Sit Or Walk. What Is It?
Hi...I'm suffering a pain on my right side...not under my ribs though, it's on or inside my ribs, I think it's my lungs. I'm not able to sit or walk straight, I have to lean on my left side and I can't take deep breathes because it hurts. I didn't hurt myself or met with an accident. It started all of a sudden after I took a shower. What can it be?

Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Since it is a pain of sudden onset, it must be due to muscular spasm. Sometimes muscles get pulled inadvertently and the result is a sharp pain limiting your mobility.
Please take some rest and apply a muscle relaxant over the area gently. If the pain is severe then do not hesitate to go to your doctor.
Hope this helps.
