What Causes Rib Pain While Sitting?

I m having some pressure ( dull Pain ) under my lowest right rib….especially when i crunch while sitting. It is not persistent and does not appear to be a muscle strain ( i.e. Pectoral) . The type or volume of food does not seem to be a factor. Please advise!

Hi welcome to health care magic...

You are having pain on that area only when do crunch...
Means pain in particular position is present...

So costochondritis or muscular strain most likely..

Ibuprofen like anti-inflammatory drug given for five days...

Hot compress useful...

Avoid strenuous work...

Take rest...

If no improvement than USG abdomen done for further work up...It will help in rule out fatty liver if present..

Take care

Hope your query solved

Physician consultation advisable for examination...
