A member asked:
Strange knocking sensation to the (r) side of back where ribs end. about 1week. any thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watch it closely: It may be a transient harmless issue . It is always prudent to think of the unthinkable . I would advise you to watch it closely with our being overly anxious. You might even have to take mild pain medication like tylenol (acetaminophen) or so. If the condition does not resolve or get worse , i recommend to see your primary care provider.
