My side hurts?!


Question: Okay well I'm 13. I'm healthy and all. My side hurts right around my ribs. I tryed using a heating pad but it didn't help at all. I don't know if it's the muscle but it really hurts if I touch the rib. Please don't tell me to not touch it, It hurts when I move too. It's not like, unbareable but I'm wondering what it might be, and what I can do too help it?

I have the same question as above.
Did you hit your side?
If you did not hit it most likely a pulled muscle. Probably turned real quick, or twisted the muscle somehow.
If you hit it, possibly a broken rib.
I broke my rib, in an auto accident, and I could not touch, or lay on it, and it hurt to breathe.
If it gets worse, or you develop a fever, or anything like that, get it checked.
In the mean time, not really anything you can do. Maybe try ice, instead of heat.

Maybe you pulled a muscle. Or it could be a cramp and you are about to start your period.

Did you hit your side or something, if not that, it could be you pulled a muscle in your side or broke a rib. Also possibly appedicitis, but not sure about that, need more info

it could be like a kindey infections. those hurt around what it seems like your saying.
or you could have slept on it wrong.
i dont know, its really not enough information. it could be A LOT of things
