What Causes Pain Under Ribcage?
I have a pain and what feels like a bulging vein running vertical under my right rib cage. I completed breast cancer treatment to right breast 10 months ago. Lumpectomy chemo and radiation. I had an allergic reaction to tamoxifen and my doc took me off it 4 days ago to see if rash improved. I have had a flu bug and bad cough for 2 weeks now. I ve been doing allot of coughing. Tonight it hurt on the right side. When I felt where it hurt, I feel like a long tubular bump like a vain. Sore to touch and manipulate. I can sit up and down without pain so I don t believe it s my muscle. Can you advise please and thank you. Jackie
