What Causes Pain In The Lower Right Side Below The Ribs?
What would cause me pain in my lower right side mostly below the ribs and not close to the spine? Usually when I wake up in the mornings and roll on my back that spot hurts. it feels like a knot a little smaller than a baseball there but when i feel for it there is nothing.
It can be due to costochondritis.
You can take analgesics like paracetamol or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Nothing much to worry as the symptoms will settle in few days.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
