What Causes Tenderness In The Ribs On The Right Side?
I was scrubbing out the bathtub yesterday, kneeling on the floor & leaning over the tub side to scrub the bottom of the tub. As I was leaning, my body was putting pressure on my rib cage. I heard & felt a loud pop on my right side of the ribs and it has been very tender since. Could this be a bruised rib or possible damage to something under the ribs?

What Causes Tenderness In The Ribs On The Right Side?
Hi, The symptoms are more likely suggestive of costochondritis. As a first step, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
