A member asked:

Strange numbness under my rib cage on the right sharp pain sometimes been a week with it sometimes it itches but i can't cause it feels really funny?

Nondiagnostic: Your symptoms are nondiagnostic at this time, but early shingles is a possibility as an inflammation/irritability of a nerve in that area is suggested. Observe for the appearance of a rash there. Gall bladder or liver disorder seems less likely as a cause of your symptoms. If symptoms persist see your physician for evaluation.
