What Does Increasing Gripping Pain In The Lower Rib Cage Indicate?

Hello; My husband has had a grabbing pain in the lower rib cage area mostly on the right side. It lasts for a one to two minutes then is gone. This happens occasionally but has been increasing in the severity of the pain. During the day he can stretch or move to weaken the pain, but at night it will wake him with great intensity.

Hi,

The intermittent lower rib cage pain is likely to be related to muscle spasms. Oral muscle relaxants and methylcobalamin supplements will help.

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

Take care

Regards,
