Go to MD: It sounds like you've stretched or torn some muscles from lifting heavy objects. Please go to the doctor as soon as possible to determine what the problem is. It is not normal to have that kind of pain for weeks.

Abd pain: If you get pain with lifting which goes away after rest so localized to your abdomen then it really sounds like a hernia you need an exam the rib discomfort is difficult to add to this issue and may or may not be related to the doctor you should go!

What causes you to hurt underneath your rib cage on the left side? It's a gnawing feeling & sometimes the pain goes down into my lower abdomen.
