A member asked:

I have severe pain on left side of stomach underib cage. pain with touch, standing, sitting, laugh, cough, sneeze.

See your provider: With the pain associated with movement of the abdominal wall it is probably musculoskeletal pain but you should be seen to rule out other more serious possibilities. You should get in to see your doctor who will take a good history, do an exam, and order appropriate tests.
