It could be uretric colic
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings of the day
The pain radiating from rib cage to lower abdomen and giving no relief with change of posture is likely to be a uretric colic
Do you have any urinary symptoms like burning, frequency or hematuria ?
Do you have nausea and vomiting ?
If yes go for an abdominal ultrasound and in the mean time take a good antispasmodic tablet
If no considering it to be a muscle sprain take an analgesic like ibuprofen and apply ice
Hope this helps
