What Causes Pain Under The Ribs?
Question: I have a pain right under my left rib on the bottom part of my bone and when I exercise while doing strength training for my core muscles it burns and hurts. I am not sure if I pulled a muscle.
Brief Answer:
Rib fracture can be the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It can be a pulled muscle. It can be also a rib fracture. Symptoms can be very similar in both cases.
It would be good to have it checked with an x-ray. Rest, painkillers are the best treatment of both.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
