Why Am I Having Pain Under Lower Ribs While Walking?
Hi Doctor
I am experiencing pain on my left side just under my lowest rib. It doesn't hurt when I am at rest but does when I get up and start to walk. It doesn't bother me to breath deeply but it is very tender to the touch. There is no bruising.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time for the injury to heal.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
