What Is The Dull Pain On The Back Just Below My Ribs?
I have been having a dull pain that comes and goes in one specific area that I can touch on the right side of my my back just below my ribs. I thought it might be a muscle pull at first, but has not gone away. It is ususally not very painful, and depending on how I sit ....sometime what I eat....seems to make me more aware of it.

Hi,
It seems that as it is of recently origin, there might be having some strain of back muscles giving this problem.
Take some NSAID with muscle relaxant medicine for 3-5 days.
Apply analgesic with muscle relaxant cream locally.
Ok and take care.
