Woke up this morning with pain under my left rib. it comes and goes and is not excruciating but it is uncomfortable. i'm scared this could be leukemia?

Watch and wait: What you described is not a symptom of leukemia. You may take an over the counter pain relief like Tylenol. If the pain gets worse, or other symptoms develop, it would be prudent to see a doctor. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
