What Is Tenderness In Ribs On Right Side Suggestive Of?
Hi, I ve add some tenderness on my ribs on the right side seems like going on 2-3 weeks. Small area. Don t remember running into anything. I noticed this morning very small, barely noticeable, what looks like capillaries. I noticed a few on the right side too, but no discomfort there. I m a 57 year old man. Thoughts?

Hi,
It could be localized inflammation of the muscles in between the ribs and this is called tietze syndrome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Harshita, Ophthalmologist
