What Causes Pain In The Ribs?
I have severe pain under my ribs on right side almost daily. It feels as though there is a lump moving around. I feel nauseated and have difficulty eating. My gums are also bleeding and tender. I have diabetes and have had MRSA in my bone and bone marrow. Any idea what could be wrong???

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis.
Most cases of costochondritis are treated with over-the-counter medications.
If your pain is mild to moderate, you may take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
I also recommend to rest.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
