1.Take an oral tablet combination of Aceclofenac (100 mg) + Paracetamol (325 mg) + Thiocolchicoside (4 mg) BD after meals for 5 days.
2.Gastric Protection: Take Pantoprazole (40 mg) once daily, 30 minutes before breakfast.
3. Topical Relief: Apply Diclofenac Diethylamine Gel gently over the specific area 3–4 times daily.
4.Activity Modification: Temporarily avoid heavy lifting or gym workouts to allow the tissues to heal.
Pain in the upper right abdomen that occurs only with movement or activity, with no other symptoms, is very suggestive of a musculoskeletal cause â a strained intercostal muscle or costal cartilage inflammation (costochondritis). These are common, benign causes that worsen with movement and are relieved by rest. Liver or gallbladder pain is usually constant or comes in episodes, often after meals.
Next Steps
Rest the area and avoid strenuous activity. If the pain persists beyond 2-3 weeks or is associated with fever, jaundice, or worsens significantly, get an abdominal ultrasound done. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
Since the pain strictly triggers when you move or do activities, it points heavily toward a musculoskeletal strain rather than an internal stomach infection. The muscles or cartilage around your lower right rib cage (intercostal muscles) can face minor tears or stretching from gym workouts, heavy lifting, or sudden twisting, causing a sharp or dull localized ache during bodily movements.
So,this is left side .epigastric pain is due to mostly gerd or gastritis issue or h.pylori infection or any small tear on the stomach wall.these are possible causes of your pain but confirmed it via clinical evaluation and test. Consult me on practo for further management and evaluation.
As a physician, I would assess your symptoms like this:
A 23-year-old male with right upper abdominal pain (between chest and stomach area) for 1 month, which is only present during movement or activity and absent at rest, with no other symptoms, most commonly suggests a musculoskeletal cause rather than an internal organ problem.
Possible causes:
1. Muscle strain of the abdominal wall or intercostal muscles
* Can occur after exercise, heavy lifting, coughing, awkward posture, or physical activity.
* Pain increases with twisting, bending, stretching, or movement.
2. Costochondritis or rib-related pain
* Inflammation of the cartilage/joints between ribs and chest wall.
* Pain may be felt near the lower ribs and upper abdomen.
3. Abdominal wall nerve irritation
* Sometimes small nerves supplying the abdominal wall can cause localized pain that worsens with movement.
Less likely but important causes to consider:
* Gallbladder-related problems (gallstones, inflammation) usually cause pain after fatty meals, persistent pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, or radiation to the right shoulder/back.
* Liver-related problems usually have other associated symptoms or abnormal liver tests.
* Peptic ulcer/gastritis generally causes burning pain related to meals and is not typically movement-dependent.
What you can do initially:
* Avoid heavy lifting and activities that trigger pain for 1–2 weeks.
* Apply a warm compress to the painful area.
* Maintain good posture.
* A short course of a simple pain reliever (if you have no contraindications) may help, but avoid taking medicines regularly without medical advice.
Please consult a physician for examination if:
* Pain is increasing or becoming constant.
* You develop fever, vomiting, jaundice (yellow eyes), loss of appetite, weight loss, blood in stool, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.
* Pain persists beyond another 2–3 weeks despite rest.
A few questions would help narrow it down:
1. Is the pain just below the right ribs or more in the chest wall/ribs?
2. Does pressing that area with your fingers reproduce the pain?
3. Did it start after gym, lifting weight, sports, injury, or excessive coughing?
4. Does deep breathing or twisting increase the pain?
