How Can Dull Rib Pain Be Treated?
I had back surgery in February & was in the hospital for deli caused by tylenol. I feel my liver has recovered but I still have the rib pain on my left side - seems it is along the last rib & sometimes feels like my intestions have pushed up under the rib cage. It is a dull pain and much better than in March but it will hurt when I try to vacuum or mow or sweep - I am 75 yrs old - weight about 110 or 115 - take bp rx and once a wk medication for osteo-poris - do you think this is just caused by that?

Hi i can understand the nagging pain must be a concern and frustration for you. Chronic dull pain over ribs covering abdomen can be due to multiple reasons. I would advice you to get yourself assessed by a surgeon and get atleast an ultrasound done as well as a stool test done to see everything is right with your bowels.
