Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Rib Cage Area
Hi, I have been seeing a dr for 2 mo for pain under my right rib cage that radiates to my back. I have done HIDA scan, CT scan with and without contrast and several other tests. The surgeon said that the CT w/contrast shows I have uterine fibroids and now recommends that I see OB/GYN. Could that be causing the pain under my rib?

Hello,
Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs pain relievers. Ask your doctor about using ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve, others). Heat or ice. Try placing hot compresses or a heating pad on the painful area several times a day. Rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
