Yesterday my lower ribcage on the right started hurting for no apparent reason. I hadn't picked anything up, hadn't done anything physical. I was literally sitting in a car talking with a friend.

I also had extreme right rib pain and have been diagnosed with Non alcoholic fatty liver. Maybe worth checking.
