What Causes Cramping Pain In The Rib Cage Area?
I have been having a pain on my left side. About a week ago I felt like I pulled a muscle in the back rib cage area. Now it feels like a cramp sort of pain lingering on the left side, from the ribcage area radiating down to the groin area. Any ideas?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and relieve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
