What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Rib Cage?

Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with ovarian cyst s I just had my second ultrasound yesterday of which i do not have the results back yet. the first set of ultrasound clearly showed a 1.5m or mm cyst inside my left ovary. I do not have a uterus so the reading on my right was not clear enough. They re-did the ultrasound because all my discomfort now pain is where my right ovary is located. I also have had allot of vagina fullness/pressure/pain this whole time. The reason I am contacting you is because I have recently in the past few days now have a new symptom that as well to the others will now go away no matter what ii do. The new symptom is severe pain swelling and aching just above my right hip bone and over the past 24 hours has swollen and the pain has extended to the back side of my rib cage. I am 46yr old 5 7 and i weigh 143lbs my BMI=22 i can am not overweight i can feel my rib bones but no longer can feel them on the right side

Hello,

The pain located above your right hip bone, might be related to many health problems, starting with your hip bone, abdominal wall, or other abdominal local structures problems. Considering the fact that you have local swelling ,it might be a right inguinal hernia, appendicitis or a ruptured ovarian cyst.

However, all the conditions mentioned above shouldn't be ignored, so you have to go to the ER for further examinations, and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
