Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have dull pain filling up the right side under the lowest rib. It only affects me when I sit. There is no st abbing pains but it seems to feel like it s creeping down the right side also toward my legs. I m wondering if it is any thing to do with the sciatica nerver as I m having problems there too. Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi and welcome to HCM The pain at the bottom center of the rib cage on the right side could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely. The other causes that need to be ruled out include lung infections like pleuritis. Hope this will helps you. Take care
