Rib pain and visceral pain can be determined by symptomatic manifestations, accompanying symptoms and auxiliary examinations. 1. Symptomatic manifestation: If there is obvious pain when pressing the ribs, or if the pain is distributed in bands along the nerve meridians, it may be rib pain caused by costochondritis, intercostal neuralgia, and so on. If the pain does not intensify, but intensifies when pressing the lower liver and abdomen, and the pain point is fixed and the pain range is small, the possibility of visceral pain is higher. 2. Accompanying symptoms: Visceral pain is mostly caused by organic lesions of the liver, etc., and patients may have symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension and diarrhea, jaundice, nausea and vomiting, etc., while rib pain is usually not accompanied by such symptoms. 3. Auxiliary examination: It is better to go to the hospital for liver and gallbladder ultrasound, chest X-ray and bone density examination, etc., in order to clarify the diagnosis and treatment.
