You may need an: ultrasound to look at the common bile duct followed by MRCP or ERCP if there is suspicion of retained ductal stone (choledocholithiasis). Talk to your surgeon or family physician about the pains and radiological studies to rule out. Other things that can cause rib pain include blood clot in the lungs, intercostal muscle strain, rib sprain, scar tissue. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
