How Can Pain Under The Ribcage Be Treated?
If I pulled a muscle in my left shoulder blade area, can it cause occasional dull throbbing pain under rib in abdomen? Or do I have symptoms of 2 separate issues? Or is my rib issue making my back hurt also? This is the third day, and I ve taken Advil twice since 10PM, and Tylenol on Friday night. Nevermind

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain. I suggest you to continue using anti inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen three times a day.I also suggest using voltaren gel for local relief. Cool compresses can help. If you don't get better you should visit your doctor for a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
