Question
Hello,
Recently, I have experienced pain in my back just below and on the last few ribs. I have tried anti-inflamatory's, a muscle relaxer, and a heating pad and nothing says to be working. i have not injured the area and am looking for a possible diagnosis. If you could help, that would be great.

Answer
Dear Brittany,

From what you have described, it sounds like your muscles are not the cause of the pain.  This is not 100% certain since an examination is required to make sure.  Other possible causes may be due to rib or vertebra mal-alignment.  However, the region of pain is also the location of various internal organs which can also contribute to the pain and not alleviate by the medications you described.  I would recommend to sought consultation with an acupuncturist or chiropractor to be certain.
