Pain in my left ribs that gets better when i take ibprufen. i am burping a lot sometimes when i burp takes the pain away. started with back pain

Gas: If the pain goes away when you burp, it may mean gas trapping. Ibuprofen helps also because of the impact of the bloating on the rib cage. Need to see your doctor to get checked out if this has been bothering you for more than a couple of weeks.
