Slight pain on my right side just under my rib cage?


Posted by greg09

This pain is not constant and I do not know it is there until there is pressure put on the area.  Example, sitting down and bending over to tie my right shoe or me pushing on that spot.  I feel no lumps or see any brusing.  I did recently start weight training again.  When i do feel the pain it is slight and stops as soon as the pressure is not on the area.  It does not hurt when I breath or yawn.  I can feel it slightly when I do a deep stretch.  I am thinking it is a pulled muscle or tendon but want to make sure.

This kind of pain may spread to left side or back side. It is caused by appendicitis, bowel cancer, Crohn’s disease, constipation, diverticulitis, hernia, intussusception, lymphoma, kidney stones, psoas abscess, pyelonephritis, ulcerative colitis, sickle cell disease etc.

Near the surface maybe a pulled muscle, tendon tear or other injury problem.
