A member asked:

Why do i have pain in right rib cage after hysterectomy and lower back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: How recently was the hysterectomy? If recent, fluids in the pelvis can irritate the diaphragm and cause back and rib pain. But more concerning is the possibility of blood clot - you need to check with your doctor right away for an exam. Good luck.
