Abdominal And Rib Cage Pain On The Right Side, Big Indentation In The Middle And Towards Bottom With Swelling. Is It Due To Ribs?

I have been have abdominal pain on the right side for a while now, I have had an ultrasound and a CT to rule out anything, but that was done over 2 weeks ago. My right rib cage though is now in pain, and there is a big indentation in the middle, and then towards the bottom they seem to be almost swollen. Could my ribs be causing this unknown abdominal pain?

marked indentation in rib cage as described may be due to some pathology in lungs .
Please get a chest x-ray done and get a medical check up .a CLINICAL CHECK UP WILL BE HELPFUL TO FIND OUT .
