Should I See A Doctor If The Left Side Of Back On The Lower Rib Cage Hurts After Dancing?
Yesterday my daughter (10) complained after dance class that her left side on her back (on lower rib cage hurt). When I looked at it, there was a small hard bump. It sort of looked bruised. Today it still hurts, but the bruise is gone. She doesn't remember bumping it. Is this a normal reaction to a bruise, or should I contact a doctor?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild pain that you are having is likely to be due to a postural problem or a minor muscle spas. Rest and hot fomentation with muscle relaxants will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
