Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I developed a sharp pain in the area around the bottom of the rib cage on the left side. It started today , I ve been fine, no health issues at all. It feels like a stabbing pain if I move the wrong way. Is it something I should be concerned about? Thank you..

What Causes Stabbing Pain Below The Rib Cage?
Thanks for contacting healthcare magic. You complain that there is pain below rib cage area whenever movement of your body is wrong. This indicate that you have just muscular strain. Take a rest. Avoid excessive bending and strain. For relief of pain you can take analgesic drug. Restrict some extra movement of ribcage area. Immobilization of body part by bandage can helpful.Avoid smoking. After taking this much care still symptoms are present than you can take chest x ray also. Muscular pain is relived by rest only. Take care. Thanks.
