What Causes Dull Pain In The Left Ribs?
I have had a dull pain and full feeling under my left ribs for over a year and a half now. It started after I was on a backpacking trip where I got altitude sickness pretty bad after not acclimating properly. It seems to get worse when I have exercised and sometimes can hardly stand up straight because of the pain, but it is usually a constant dull pain.

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 cool compresses in the area of the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi, General &Family Physician
