<s>[INST] Hi, I m experiencing a relatively strong pain on my right side, lower ribs and I m not sure of the cause. This discomfort happens usually once or twice a week now. Days ago right before waking up, now after having a coffee right jafter a nap. This started 2 to 3 hrs after lunch and it s still strong after 6yrs. I m type 1 diabetic diagnosed 2 yrs ago, 36yr old. Thank you [/INST] Hello, Lower rib pain could be because of muscles weakness. We have several muscles attached there and if they are weak, then they can get pulled and can cause pain. You need regular exercise and the most important thing is walking to make them strong. You can get ultrasonic therapy over that particular area. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.  </s>
