Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
About 8 days ago I was bending over while placing a box on a shelf in the garage, and heard a pop on my side. It came from my lower left side about 6-8 inches from my chest, the shorter ribs i think. There is no swelling or bruising , just painful, especially if I lay on that side. Is it a rib?

Suggest Treatment For Lower Left-sided Pain
Hi, It might be a simple musculoskeletal pain. As of now, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
