A member asked:
What does a slight pain on the right side rib cage mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: There are many potential causes including musculoskeletal conditions such as costochodritis, which is an inflammation of the rib at the bone cartilage junction to conditions involving the inner organs of that area including the lung, liver, and gallbladder. Consider being seen, a detailed exam and possibly some further studies can usually determine the cause. Thank you.
