What Causes Discomfort Around The Rib Cage In The Upper Abdomen?
I have had discomfort on my right side on the higher abs, feels like close to the rib cage. I tend to feel more discomfort when I am seated. There has been no other changes in my body, I am very active and think it is possible it could be a muscle strain? The top two things listed with my described symptoms is a muscle strain and gallstones.
