HI i think i injured myself a couple of months ago i don't know how exactly but if i work to hard.  I get this pain leading from right underneath my rib cage down to about your middle of my waist.  What's causing this pain and will it ever really go away.  Sorry maybe a dumb question.

Do you remember lifting and twisting at the time?  Some pulled muscles take a long time to heal and they're easily aggrivated.  Do you have any rash or hot spots?  Swelling? Did you fall on your side and maybe crack a rib?  If there is a rash look up shingles.  If it is a cracked rib there's nothing you need to do really except let it heal. Same w/muscle pull.  Why did you wait so long and not see a doctor? Take Advil for pain and swelling if you can.  Try a heating pad unless you reinjure it then do ice for 1st 24hrs. I am not a doctor or a nurse, just sharing my opinion.  Good Luck
