What Causes Pain In The Ribs?

After searching the internet, I think I may have found out what is wrong under my rib cage, which I have been dealing with the pain since last Oct., 2016. I would like to know what type of a doctor I should see to try and get a diagnosis. It sounds like it could be slipping rib syndrome.

Hi,

I would recommend seeing a general surgeon, who will examine you and if there is any abnormality with your ribcage will refer to a specialist surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
