What Causes Tenderness And Pain On Right Side After Injury?

I twisted my torso while reaching down to get a pot out of a cabinet and experienced a sharp pain in the lower part of my right rib cage. The pain went away quickly, but I experienced it again a couple of days later when bending. Now 8 days later my right side is very tender to the touch and it is painful to rollover while sleeping. Do you know the cause?

Hi..
Your Pain is due to sudden twisting and lifting of the pot..loading external oblique muscles abrubtly resulting in spasm...and pain..
pain got received instantly and sudden spasm takes times to get releived.. secound spasm worsened the issue...and this is what you are experiencing currently...
If I am your treating doctor then I would like you to ice up that area frequently..say once in every 2 hours possibly...
slowly and gently perform twisting towards the opposite side..stretching oblique muscle..
keep a pillow under my back around low back lie in top of my pillow..relax and take deep breath in and breath out...
perform some cobra stretches...lying on my stomach and lift my torso up with my palms supported...ad elbows straight...
hope this information will get you out of your issue..
revert back in case you need further clarification...
