How Can tingling Sensation In The Rib Cage Be Treated?
My question is not unique as I read others--I am having a fluttering or twitching under my right rib and sometimes it moves under the breast but mostly under the rib--over the past two weeks, some nausea and some stomach issues. In addition, my right lower side hurts at times. Could it be a reaction to working out--a pulled muscle? The symptoms have existed for about a month.

Hi,
The reason can be either the chronic muscle spasm or may be due to the underlying organ related like the liver.
As you said there are twitching or involuntary muscle movements the muscle-related issues looks more reliable.
The pain may be due to spasm so do the tenderness. You need to to take muscle relaxants but only after the consultation with an orthopedic doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
