Thank you for your response. I had an MRI of my chest yesterday and am waiting until Monday for the results. Isn't it odd though that the pain has only gotten worse over the last 4 months? I have taken all types of pills and steroids with little or no relief. The only thing that honestly seems to help sometimes is alcohol-when not taking the meds of course. And without having pain in the left side the first few months and now starting to have it there it concerns me also. It's just hard to tell wether or not the pain is coming from beneath the ribs or from the ribs and muscles themselves.
Hi, it appears to be a musculoskeletal pain rather than something related to liver or kidney. I say this because you have your blood tests normal and the ribs are tender to touch, although I cannot figure out the exact cause of the pain by just reading the history. You'll definitely be able to take part in sports later on but at this time I would suggest you to avoid any sporting activity. Do what ever gives you relief from the pain like rest, avoiding exertion and physical activities which causes pain, takes prescribed anti-inflammatory medications and visit your family doctor as scheduled. Don't get frustrated as the pain is not going to last for ever. All the best.
