Can Being Overweight Lead To Discomfort In Ribs?
Can being overweight lead to a discomfort in the ribs? I carry weight in my belly and on the left side, I have a pain - more of a discomfort really - jut under and sometimes over my rib area. I have an extra fold on that side that I don t on the right. Sometimes it just feels like a pull, but other times it feels like something is in there... I can t find any palpable lumps, though.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Overweight can cause stretching injury to muscle and cause discomfort in the rib area.
Take following advises:
Take proper rest and avoid exertion till you get better.
Do not lie down on the affected side.
Tablet containing acetaminophen plus seritopeptidase for 4-5 days
Apply local analgesic like volini gel
Apply warm pad application
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
Best regards
