A member asked:
Can a strained muscle in my back on right side below ribs on back cause stomach discomfort also i know it's a muscle it pulls when i move or stretch?

Doubtful: It would be unlikely for the strained back muscle to cause stomach discomfort. It would be more likely that you sprained an abdominal muscle at the time of the back injury.
