Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pain in abdomen and pain between rib cage and hip can be due to degeneration of inter-vertebral discs.
Degeneration of inter-vertebral discs can cause disc protrusion or disc prolapse.
You need to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and management.
Thanks and take care
