I've been experiencing this mild pain on my lower left rib for about a week now, and it's pretty noticeable, especially when I touch the area. The pain seems localized to the rib bone itself, and doesnt feel like its coming from inside my stomach. I think it began after playing cricket recently. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

I'm dealing with some really bad pain on my left side, kind of where the lower rib muscles are, and I think its from doing this really intense march past practice. Its swollen and the pain is getting pretty unbearable right now. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I can do to ease this pain?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles in your lower rib area from intense physical activity, like march past practice. I recommend resting, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and treatment.
