I think i cracked my ribs on my right side but i am having severe pain on my front right side underneath the bottom of my ribs. what is it?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Unclear: Cracked ribs can be diagnosed on ct scan and often times on x-ray also. If you are having pain under the right rib cage, it may be your gallbladder. See a physician if your pain is persistent/severe.
