Does A Muscle Tear In The Stomach And Ribs Require Medical Attention?
Hi I did some over the top exercises the other day and as a result tore the right hand side of my stomach and ribs, mainly the lower bottom right part of the stomach area, it feels very stretched and it is very uncomfortable when I sit down or kink it in a bad position.

Dear patient
how do u come to diagnosis of muscle tear? it can be said only after confirmation by mri report. As per your history pain that is on right lower ribs and stomach after excercises may be due to muscle sprain. Treatment is rest for a week and no excercises pertaining to stomach and chest during this period. Start tab ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day for pain relief. Ice fomentation helps in reducing inflammation.
