Question 1

Sever left side pain around rib cage for about a week  constant  ongoing never ending very sharp shooting and staving pain?

Accepted Answer

Severe left-sided pain around the rib cage could indicate a problem in any of the following areas: stomach and gas, cardiac, lung-related, musculoskeletal, intestinal, pancreas and less likely spleen. Given the constant and unremitting nature of your pain, I would suggest an urgent evaluation, possibly with ultrasound and routine bloodwork to start.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

A person with chest pain symptoms usually has to go to her doctor (or even to the emergency room) to be checked right away for a heart problems, UNLESS there is another convincing reason for chest pain (decided upon by talking with one's doctor). That means not waiting at home to see if it turns into a more serious condition. As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry".

Question 8

Left side pain in location of spleen under rib cage. pain increases whenever i lean back or breathe in. started 3 days ago, same pain level.

Accepted Answer

Three days of this discomfort requires an evaluation by a physician who will take a thorough history and perform a careful physical examination in order to make a diagnosis.Appropriate tests will be ordered. Possibilities include muscular discomfort, spleen or left lower lobe lung pathology ,even a pinched intercostal nerve or a rib injury.

Question 9

I had a total hysterectomy back in july and now i have this constant pain on my left side below rib cage (on side). pain during/after sex bloating etc?

Accepted Answer

That is a common area for pain referred from the area you had surgery.  I would make sure your surgeon is aware.  The other possibility is you have developed another condition such as gall bladder disease, for example.

Question 10

For the last 8-9 months, i have had increasing left side pain, under my rib cage. pcp sent me to a gi, nothing found but a slight enlarged spleen.  last 3 days, pain has become unbearable, sharp and non-stop.

Accepted Answer

3 days of unbearable pain is very concerning!  It may not be related to your previous pain, or it can be a worsening of whatever was causing the pain in the first place.  Please go to an ER now if you cannot see your doctor now.  Best wishes!
