What Causes Pain On Right Lower Rib Cage?
During the last trimester of my first child I experienced pain at my right lower rub cage. 14 years later I am still having this pain and discomfort. It is like I have a bruise on my rib cage, it is extremely uncomfortable to sit and tender to touch.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that it can be stress fracture. This is due to low vitamin D or calcium. Some time it can be due to injury during labour. I would recommend you to get digital x ray of the ribs to confirm the diagnosis. If there is any fracture then you need to increase your calcium and vitamin d 3 intake. Also injection of partharmone taken for six wees may be helpful.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
