Why The Ribcage In My Left Side Is Tender And Painful To Touch?
I have several symptoms that seem to be progressively worse. First of all in my upper abdominal left quadrant is very painful and tends to alleviate somewhat (not alleviate but responds to my touch) by pinching that section. Also, my left toe is also hurting like swollen, stony sensation and multiple tingling at my left side. Also the rib cage in my left side is very tender to touch.

Hello,
The symptoms of the rib cage don't seem to be related to the pain in the toe. The pinching feeling in the rib cage seem to be related to a pulled muscle.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day for muscle relaxation. I also suggest using magnesium supplement and warm compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
