What Could Be Causing The Pain On Right Side Of My Rib And The Swollen Vein?
I have two veins that appear to be swollen along the side of my right ribs. I recently had an infection from a breast implant, then remove=al, and yesterday they took out the drain tube. What could be causing the pain on the side of my rib and the swollen vein?
