A member asked:
The upper left side of my stomach area has pain that comes and go and last only a few seconds. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gas pains: The colon takes a 90 degree turn at the upper left quadrant of the abdomen and this area may trap gas(splenic flexure syndrome}. Another cause of fleeting sharp pain in the lower rib cage at the juncture of the ribs and upper abdomen is a pinched intercostal nerve or muscle that runs between the two last ribs. Either of these conditions are just nuisance type problems,but see your MD as needed.
