What Causes Recurring Sharp Pain In Lower Back And Under The Ribs?
I m experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in my lower left back/side, under my lower ribs. I ve recently had a respiratory infection with a continous strong cough. The pain started today... It seems like an odd place for a targeted muscle strain. Ibuprofen has not helped. Is this likely a strain from the cough or should I be concerned about something else?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to muscle strain.
I recommend using Naproxen.
I also recommend using Voltaren gel for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
