Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling Around The Ribs
50 year old female. 5'5" tall and 230lbs. I am in generally good health. On Wellbutrin for mild depression and Benicar HCT for high blood pressure. About a week ago I noticed soreness on my left side around the ribs. It felt bruised. i don't remember injuring it in any way. There is a moderate amount of edema, enough to be seen when looking in the mirror. I have no other symptoms. It is tender to the touch.
