What Causes Pain And Swelling At The Base Of The Rib Cage?
Why would my round bone at the base of my rib cage feel enlarged and hurts to touch? I am not sure if this is related to the spleen but I have been having a lot of digestive problems and pain like everywhere, under the ribs, to the middle right side of my stomach hurts and the left bottom side of my lower abdomen hurts. I have not gone to the bathroom for 3 days now even taking fiber, probiotics with colon health but not working. I feel like I may have an intestinal blockage but not sure what to tell the er when I go. I keep throwing up and my upper stomach is so enlarged. I told my G.I. nurse and when they got back with me they said wait til Monday but that it sounds like I might have a bug or something. I do not have a fever today or breaking out in a sweat like before like I feel the urge to go but cannot. Thank you, Cynthia Albarado

What Causes Pain And Swelling At The Base Of The Rib Cage?
Hello, Most probably it is due to conditions like costochondritis. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
