What Causes Pain Around The Waist And Lower Rib Cage?
I am having pain in right side about waist level and lower rib cage. It is not constant, but occurs when I do somethe eing that causes stress or pressure to that area. Such as movement or a burp or a deep breath. Then I will have a sudden pain in that spot that will last a second or two. For two nights I was continually having stress in that spot and had to get up. Last night I was able to lie down. The pain still occurs anytime throughout the day.

Hello,
It could be a muscular pain as in costochondritis.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
