What Causes Nausea, Extreme Tenderness On Right Side Of Rib Cage?

Hi there I am extremely tender on the right side of my rib cage (not the bones themselves) Sore enough that I cannot sleep on that side, and it also hurts when I twist my body to the left. Have had this pain for about 10 days now. Have also had a bit of very mild nausea.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Right lower side of rib cage is the area of the liver.

So you must be having pathology of liver which is causing pain to you.

I advice you should do x ray chest PA view. This will help in localising the lesion.

It may be either muscular pain or liver pain. If the muscular pain is their than you cant have any type of lesion in the chest.

I advice you should avoid heavy exercise which requires a use of right ribcage.

Take proper rest.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
