What Causes Soreness In Lower Ribs?

I have sore lower right ribs along with feeling as though there is something there and by the end of the day I have throbbing pain in that whole lower area to my side, back and bottom. The only relief I get is from laying down and sometimes that does not help

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Lower rib pain should always be evaluated for heart diseases first.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar kind of pain.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Take calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements for faster recovery.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
