A member asked:
I hurt under my right ribs and sometimes into my back. i also feel it under my left ribs sometimes. caffeine and alcohol trigger it. what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib pain: Unsure the cause of your pain. It sounds musculoskeletal, but you are attributing it to beverages, so it is not clear. Avoid caffeine and alcohol for a week, and see if the pains recur. Get a urine and blood test to check your kidney function.
