A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with a 4cm hiatus hernia and dysphagia but why does my left side under my ribs hurt so much all the time?

Because...: You've been diagnosed with a 4 cm hiatus hernia. Might i suggest asking your physician who diagnosed the hernia to make sure there is nothing else going on.

Not specific: The pain is nonspecific, and unlikely to be related to the small hiatal hernia. Could be costochondritis, or muscle spasm. Best to see your primary care provider odor a more complete evaluation. Hope this helps!
