Suggestions needed for rib pain on right side

Posted By Regi (Surprise, Az) on 08/01/2010

One day I felt lower right side pain in one rib and am looking for some answers. I'm over 60 and do outside work every day. Just touching that one rib in that spot is painful. What would be some recommendations?

That sounds like it might be myofascial trigger points in your intercostal muscles, or in some other related muscles. I recommend The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies.
