What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Rib Cage After Lifting Weight?
I lifted a sewing machine 3 months ago. I got a muscle pain and severe burning on my left side on the outside of my rib cage. It continues to swell and cause a tightness around my upper abdomen. Could I have ruptured something and how to treat this pain.

Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query carefully and most likely it is acidity/indigestion or gastritis.A few days course of drug Omeprazole along with muscle relaxant tablet meftal spas will be helpful.Get them prescribed by your local doctor.
Take care
