A member asked:
My daughter is very short in the body and has stabbing kidney pain alot. coud her rib be rugging her kidney/?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The kidneys are normally located below the ribcage and are not in direct contact with the ribs, making it hard for them to be responsible to your daughter's pain. I would suggest that she be seen by her doctor as she may have kidney stones or an infection.
