How Can A Painful Swelling On The Left Side Below The Ribs Be Treated?
I have a slight swelling on my left side at bottom of my ribs. There is low pain. More like pain when I stretch. I m thinking that I pulled a muscle when I was chasing the dog when she got out of the yard. My BP is not low. No pain in my shoulder. More tenderness to the touch on my high left abdomen. Wasn t sure if I could have a speed problem. Thanks. Larry. Also, I was swinging golf clubs yesterday.

Hello,
This is something a muscle pull and you have developed trigger point.
Get ultrasonic therapy there or if no relief then you can take laser therapy. Even after this no relief then you can take trigger point infiltration.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
