What Causes Dull Aching In The Right Side Of The Rib Cage?

Hi I am a female aged 43, 5ft 4 weight 11 stone. I have just been diagnosed as having cervical spondylosis in my neck and are also going through the menopause. I have had my bloods also taken and I also suffer with lack of iron. I have currently been given anti inflammatories for my neck and have been taking these every day. My problem at the moment though is I have started experiencing a dull aching under my right side under my rib cage. What could be causing this. Many thanks Mrs Barlow

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Rib cage pain can be caused by various of causes such as a fracture or a pulled muscle.
Based on the fact that did not refer a fracture in the query,it is probably related to a pulled muscle.
I suggest using Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest magnesium three times a day.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
