<human>: I have a stabbing pain under the lower part of my ribcage on my right side. It is somewhat intermittent and I find that a warm bath gives some relief, but it comes back after a short time. I have also been experiencing tightness and some pain in the middle and lower part of my back, sometimes extending down my right buttock. The back pain came first about 2 weeks ago. The stabbing pain began on Wednesday, 5 days ago, stopped on Friday and returned on Saturday.
<bot>: Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain. Taking mild painkillers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular exercise will be helpful. Get evaluated by your doctor if it becomes persistent. Meanwhile, you can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon.
