What Causes Soreness Below The Ribs And Back Pain?

Soreness on right side directly below rib cage, not under the ribs and bad back and hip pain. What could be going on? I am 46 years old, weigh 240 and am 5 11. Last year I tore my left acl and meniscus. Received an allograft and meniscus shaving. Anxiety became present then but after medication it went away.

Dear-thanks for using our service, I reviewed the question in details and will give you my medical advise.The pain below the rib cage can be gas,muscular of from the gallbladder.However, you are overweight and that is agravating the pain that you are experiencing, putting all the weight on your knee aggravated the meniscus problem. Anxiety increases intestinal gas and that can give you more pain.I recommend you to have a healthy diet ,free of irritants and start doing exercise daily. If after diet modification and exercise you dont feel better, you might need a reevaluation of your problem with your primary care doctor.
