Pain under the left lower ribs that worsens with stretching or lifting heavy objects could be due to:
Muscle Strain â Overstretching or lifting can strain intercostal muscles.
Costochondritis â Inflammation of rib cartilage, often worsened by movement.
Gastric Issues â Gas, acidity, or an enlarged spleen (in rare cases).
Nerve Compression â Pinched nerve in the thoracic spine.
Internal Organ Issues â Rarely, issues with the spleen, pancreas, or kidneys.
Ayurvedic Approach
Apply warm sesame oil with turmeric on the affected area.
Drink jeera-ajwain decoction to rule out gas-related discomfort.
Avoid heavy lifting and practice gentle stretching.
Triphala churna at night for digestion if bloating accompanies pain.
If pain persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
