Hello,
I have gone through depth regarding your concern. Pain near the ribs is due to post-operative status of ribs and intercostal muscles with irritation of intercostal nerve endings. Rozavel is only causing burning chest as side effect not pain around rib cage, so altering its dose is not meaningful at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
