Brief Answer:
muscle pull likely following gym attendance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query with attached photo image and here is my advise.
* As per my clinical experience, the pain involving lower ribs with history of
recent gym joining indicate muscle pull most likely through some sort of
exercise maneuver.
My guidelines at present
- If possible temporarily stop gym attendance as that will worsen the issue
more.
- Heating pad application over local area of pain for 5 minutes each 3 times
a day.
- Analgesic spray or ointment with diclofenac, linseed oil and menthol 3
times a day.
- As the intensity of pain is not of much amount, tablets for pain relief
should not be considered at this stage.
- Can have proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole ( 20 mg ) with sips of
water on empty stomach for acidity purpose.
- Consume your regular previous diet with avoidance of spices, non veg,
junk items, dairy fat if consuming.
Would like follow up progress at 24 hours or early as per your need.
Wish you best recovery.
Regards.

So You are saying it doesn't have to do anything with stomach or internal organs. I was confused with pain and acidity came together.
Can you suggest some ointment names and medicine for gas. I didn't know which ointment/tablet contains the contents you mentioned above.
I'm living in XXXXXXX XXXXXXX So you can suggest medicine available here.

Brief Answer:
follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome for follow up.
* The pain is more in concern with muscle pull, rather than gastric upset
which is known to provoke symptoms exactly in the midline at epigastrium
where your pain is not at that place.
* So far as ointment is concerned, anyone with content of diclofenac ( as
viviny gel or else ) would give best results.
* For gas issue capsule omez ( 20 mg ) morning and evening before meals
will serve best.
Wish you best health.
Regards.
