What Can Cause Pain Around The Ribcage And The Gallbladder Area?
I m having strange pains near and around my rib cage near the liver and gall bladder area. The pains feel like the shock from a TENS device. Also some of the are radiating but more of a dull ache. I’m female and I also feel tenderness on my rib cage below my breast on both sides as well. I do have a history of contrachondritis.

Hi,
In my practice this kind of pain, I have found, is generally associated with weakness in the bones like osteoporosis or severe vitamin D Deficiency.
My treatment is painkillers, muscle relaxants, assessment of cause and treatment thereof.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
