What Causes Tenderness At The Bottom Of The Rib Cage?
I have a small area located at the bottom right front rib cage area that has been tender to the touch for about a week. No discolor that I can see yet. I cannot seem to feel any lump, but I am unsure of what it should feel like. Can you give any advice?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with pain and tenderness at the bottom of your right rib cage I will suggest you have developed a condition called Costochondritis (inflammation of the rib bones and cartilage)
In view of this please do chest x-ray to rule out this condition and take any of the following Tylenol cymbalta Athrotec neurobion
I hope this helps Regards
