for a couple of weeks I have had a pain in my right ribs below my breast, and it goes through to my back, now the skin feels tender to the touch  on the skin over the right ribsI am not sure if it is form the way I sit at the computer, or a lung problem, I did have a bad bout of flu that lasted for 4 weeks, but that has gone
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case. So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements. 2. Avoid prolonged sitting on chair. Sit with proper back support. 3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 4. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
