What Treatment Is Suggested For Pain In Rib Cage?
I have had an ache just beneath my right rib cage for going an 3 months. No N&v no wt loss and I don t have a gall bladder. I ve been told this has to do with sprus on my thorasic spine. Just going on too long. I can work in the yard and not have any pain but if I sit for any lenghth of time it may take days for the pain to subside. Also some burning in the rt side of my back up to my shoulder.

Hi,
The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. Internal rib pain can be the lung and diaphragm. external is a muscle pull most likely. With the spine, then, the pain is usually inside, in an area with little or no muscle and often with a band of pain outward in the path of the affected nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
