Why Am I Having Pain Under My Rib Cage?
I had a tummy tuck and liposuction exactly two weeks ago. Yesterday I did the most walking I've done since the surgery and think I over did it. Yesterday evening I started to feel a pain under my rib cage. This morning I woke up and it hurts when I take deep breaths. What do you think is wrong?

Which side is the pain? It could mean some mild infection in your lower lungs. I advise you to get an XRay chest done and continue deep breathing exercises with some analgesic medicines to decrease your pain if it is becoming unbearable. Also please note if you are having any fever, that would point to an infection. hope to hear from you. Take care.
