My mom fell and her lower right side under rib cage is hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: That she has a broken or bruised rib. Ice and nsaids will help. If she is having problem breathing you might want to get to the doctor or er. A broken or bruised rib will cause quite a bit of pain and can limit your ability to inhale.
