What Causes Pain With Tender Spot Under Right Rib?
Hi I have pain just under my right rib. It does seem to worsen if I exercise or do any physical exercise. I also have a tender spot there as well. I am scheduled to have an ultrasound on my abdomen. My Doctor has suggested that it is muscle related. Br YYYY@YYYY

hi,
thanks for the brief history. it is good to see that you met a physician and even planned an ultrasound scanning for further provisional diagnosis. you can try doing some costal breathing exercises by placing the hand over the tender area. a gentle massage over the area will also be helpful. kindly wait further to see what scan has to show underneath the ribs.
with the grace of God you will recover soon.
