A member asked:

Pain in right side of back under last rib on back side of my back pulls when i breath in and move a certain way or sit a certain way muscle or kidney?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely muscular: Pain or discomfort that occurs and is worsened by movement or changes in position are usually musculoskeletal in nature. Can try some anti-inflammatories like low dose over the counter ibuprofen taken with food. See your doctor if pain continues or gets more severe.
