What does soreness in the rib-cage indicate?
Patient: I am experiencing soreness in my right rib area. Seems to be at the end of the ribcage and/or behind the right ribs. It s sore to press on the area at the bottom of the right rib. What are the possible reasons that ia having these symptoms. Have been noticing it for about three weeks. My check-up w/ my PCP dr was good ion June 28. CBC & lipid panel all good. Vit D was low- 21. Doctor: Hi,  This is because muscles weakness. You need to walk regularly and do regular exercises. If pain is more then you can take local infiltration at trigger point.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
