The lowest rib on the right side hurts

Pain in the lowest rib on the right side will actually have an impact on your life. If the pain is severe, the impact will be greater. There are many reasons for right rib pain, such as staying up late for a long time, irregular diet, liver disease, high stress, etc., which can cause such situation.

What causes right rib pain?

1. Staying up late for a long time can cause pain under the right ribs. Staying up late is very harmful to the internal organs. It will cause excessive burden on the liver, blockage of liver meridians, and cause meridian congestion, which can cause pain under the right ribs.

2. Irregular diet can cause pain under the right ribs. People in this group should be alert to the occurrence of fatty liver and cholecystitis. Once patients with fatty liver have pain under the right ribs, it may have developed to moderate to severe conditions, with fatty degeneration and necrosis of the liver and severe damage, resulting in pain under the right ribs.

3. Urban syndrome, high pressure, bad mood, etc. can also cause pain under the right ribs. Chinese medicine says: The liver is the organ of wind and wood, and its nature likes to be regulated and hates depression. If the emotions are depressed, the liver qi cannot be released, the collaterals are blocked, and the meridian qi cannot run smoothly, all of which can cause flank pain.

4. Liver disease. For example, acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. can cause pain below the right ribs. The liver is located in the right abdomen. If the liver is diseased, it will cause the liver and spleen to become inflamed and swollen, which will then pull on the liver capsule and cause liver pain, which will involve pain below the right ribs. In particular, hepatitis B patients should be examined and treated promptly if they experience pain below the right ribs.

How to relieve rib pain

1. External application of traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this syndrome belongs to the category of "chest pain" and "bone pain". Its formation can be divided into internal and external factors. Internal causes: liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood deficiency, disharmony between the exterior and interior of the Ying and Wei systems, and imbalance of yin and yang; external causes: chest contusion, wind, cold and dampness taking advantage of the opportunity to enter, blocking the tendons and collaterals, causing qi and blood to stagnate, and forming chest and flank bone arthritis. Shulie Xiaozhong Paste is a traditional black plaster, which is directly applied to the affected area when used. The medicinal effect is absorbed through the skin and penetrates into the lesion from the outside to the inside. Externally, it removes the wind, cold and dampness that are stagnant in the chest, and relaxes the meridians and dredges the collaterals; internally, it soothes the liver and regulates qi, promotes qi and activates blood circulation, so as to achieve the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain. It can promote blood circulation, improve the internal environment of the body, and enhance the body's resistance.

Scrape the Ren meridian: From the Tiantu point, go down through the Huagai, Zigong, Yutang, Tanzhong points, and scrape to the Jiuwei point.

Scrape the intercostal space: scrape along the intercostal space from the middle to both sides at the lesion site.
