Hello Doctor,
Am I experiencing pain under my ribs on the right side due to lifting heavy objects? I've sustained an injury and the discomfort persists
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Trauma or injury to the chest or ribs
2. Fractures or cracks in the ribs
3. Costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone
4. Muscle strain or inflammation in the chest or back muscles
5. Conditions affecting the organs in the chest, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, or gallbladder disease
6. Osteoporosis, which can weaken the bones and make them more prone to fractures
7. Tumors or growths in the chest area
8. Nerve irritation or compression, such as in conditions like shingles or intercostal neuralgia.
Thanks
