I have a pain under my bottom right rib. It s a dull pain. It hurts worse when I push on it. I ve felt some pain there for a few weeks, but it s significantly worse today. Could this be the pancreas? If not does it sound worrisome? I hate going to the doctor, just to find it s nothing series.
Hi, Thanks for your query. The pain at the bottom center of the rib cage on the right side could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely. The other causes that need to be ruled out include lung infections like pleuritic. Stopping smoking might help in reducing the symptoms do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
