A member asked:

My right side under my ribs keeps hurting on and off. i feel a deep pulsating twitch inside my rib cage. what could this be? why is it happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diaphragm: As described, the problem is likely localized repetitive spasms of a portion of your diaphragm. This is the same phenomenon underlying hiccups, but affecting a smaller portion of this interesting muscle, near the ribs.
