A member asked:
Pain under rib on lower left side. got seen for crackling in same spot and doctor said it could be stress or muscle pull. what could the rib pain mean based on the location?

It is probably of musculo-skeletal origin. You may take acetaminophen if the pain interferes with your function. No more than 4 g/day of acetaminophen and no alcohol. Regular aerobic exercise will help by improving muscle health
