What Could Cause Pain In Rib Cage?
Hi, I just had right side lithotripsy 3 days ago and now am having pain under my right rib cage. It does not get worse with breathing but is not going away for the last few hours. I was told I could take Motrin if my pain was not bad so have been taking motrin through out the day today and have stopped the pain medicine.

Hello,
It could be due to conditions like costochondritis.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
