Hello, gor the past 2 nights I ve been experiencing a dull pain on my ribs on my left side just under my armpit. Activity doesn t seem to bother it but it is tender to the touch and is uncomfortable to lay on my side or even rest my arm against it. Any ideas?
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having pain and selling on rib due to some injury which you might not notice. sometimes it can be due to chest infection also. A severe cough can also cause such muscle strain. I would recommend you to get a chest x-ray and see if there is any hair line fracture in the bone. Also, some time there can be muscle pull. All you need is rest and pain killers and violin gel local application with hot water fomentation.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
