i have had the same dull pain at the bottom of my right rib cage sort of more toward the middle of chest since I was 18 and Im 50 now , sometimes it hurts really bad like when trying to do a sit up or certain yoga moves and sometimes it looks like there is something in there protruding outward, what the heck is going on the older I get the less I feel competent to deal with the pain and so the less I do Years ago I went to doctors but after gall bladder test (sonar) and hepatitis test and barium enema I gave up
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Your pain is associated with exercise and movements. This is characteristic of musculoskeletal pain. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 6. Wear chest belt to prevent minimal mobilization of affected part. 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
