Question 1

im having a weird dull spasming on my left side udder my rib cage its really uncomfortable and seems to help a little by standing up. and gas?

Accepted Answer

Muscle spasm?: Could be gas, but I have also seen many complaints like this over the years that were due to muscle spasm. Commonly described as pain and a lump that goes down with self massage. Sounds like a hernia, but there are no hernias in this location not associated with a prior operation. Try anti-gas over the counter meds first and see if they help. See your doc if no help. Hope this helps!

Question 3

Pain with breathing: This can be pleurisy, a collapsed lung, pneumonia, a rib fracture or bruise, or even a pulled muscle. If it hurts to breathe you need to see a physician for an examination as well as probably a chest xray.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Trauma?: If the pain came up on its own and you didn't have an injury, it's best to see your doctor to try to find an underlying cause.

Question 5

hurts badly on my right side rib cage to breath, sneeze, cough or even spit. tender to the touch.

Accepted Answer

Seek help: If your pain is that severe you need to be evaluated in person by a doctor.  It could be a rib fracture, or inflammation of the lining of the space around the lungs(though it's a bit atypical for this with pain on touching), a partially collapsed lung(unlikely though) or even an atypical herpes infection.  Hope you feel better soon.

Get diagnosed.
