Have pain in ribs and muscle strain in stomach. X-ray is fine. What could it be?
My rib cage has been deformed, and when we went to the doctor he took x-rays and found nothing wrong. That was some months ago and now its causing me great pain again, worse then ever, i feel muscle strain all over my stomach and when I went to touch my rib it felt completely sore. I dont have any ideas on what this is, but Im feeling sick and I dont know what to do.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the rib and the muscle pain that you are feeling could be due to costochondritis. Most of the times, doing a hot fomentation and taking a mild pain killer will help in decreasing the pain.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Pain seems to be due to inflammation of rib( chostochondritis). proper evaluation is required to reach the diagnosis.
Avoid overhead activities and rest well. You can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
