What Causes Sharp Pain Under The Ribs?
My daughter has a sharp burning pain under her ribs on the right hand side of her lower chest. She hurt it shoveling in March and it was causing her pain off and on, She just moved and now it is really hurting her and burning and she is concerned. Is it just a muscle strain or could it be something more?

Hello,
If she has been exercising recently it can be a muscle pain. If she has cough, swollen legs she may do a X-ray of chest and visit a GP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
