What Causes Severe Pain In The Ribs And Abdomen?
I did core strengthening exercises a few days ago, and my ribs and abdomen hurt a lot. It s not like sore, but worse I don t know how to explain it. My mother thinks it s because I m not used to doing this type of exercise, but I think it might be caused by something completely different. Could I have fractured my ribs? Or torn cartilage in them?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. It can be due to gastritis and gastro esophageal reflux. In such case taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole ( Nexium ) will be helpful. If it is superficial then then it can be due to costochondritis and in such case using anti inflammatory gels like diclofenac or ketoprofen will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
