Suggest Cause & Remedy For Discomfort In Rib Area
For twelve months or so I have noticed discomfort (mild pain / tenderness) when laying in bed on my left side. The discomfort involves my lowest left rib area. When I lightly press the rib in question it is tender to the touch. The area immediately below the rib ie flesh above stomach area has no pain or tenderness whatsoever, no matter how hard pressed! I am 58 years old, male and in generally good health.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Inflammatory causes like costochondritis are more likely possibilities.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
