Pain Under The Rib Cage After Hitting With Elbow, Diabetic, Correct Weight. Reason For The Pain?
I have a pain on my left side under and to the right of my lower rib cage. It feels more inside rather than just the rib. I fell about a week ago and I think my elbow hit the ribs. I am 61 years old and am pretty good health not over weight. I do have type 2 dieabeties no other problems except for derm problem. What is internal in that area of the rib. Also it hurts when I bend over.
The pain is of musculo-skeletal origin. Kindly take analgesics like Diclofenac+ apply muscle relaxant gel. You can also apply ice over the area. The pain will take some time to relieve.
If it still persists, kindly get X ray of chest done to rule out any fracture. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a good health Take care.
