Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Ribs
i am having pain in my rib area on my right side. I don t not have a kidney on that side so I know it not my kidney. I suffered no injury to the area recently (did injure the area 3-4 years ago holding in a sneeze). my fiancé gave me a message and I have felt pain there ever since. hunching over hurts and feel pain rotating body to the right.

Hello,
It seems to be muscle strain pain. For that, you can be prescribed an anti inflammatory drug like Brufen for five days.
A hot compress can be beneficial to apply over that area. Avoid strenuous heavy activities for a few days and take rest. If no improvement than local part X-ray needs to be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
