Stomach Pains On Left Side

I've been expeiencing pain int he centre of my tummy below my ribs its a heavy ache most of the time and can last for more than a week at a time I have just started getting sharp stabbing pains also .

I also get pain under my ribs on right side around my side and into my back up into my shoulder blade also pain right around the middle.

I also get terrible wind bloating burps and pain in my stomach which I am putting down to indigestion.

I had an ultrasound the other day which came up clear

can a scan be wrong??

Or was my sonographer just incompetent

can anyone give me any feed back cos I am going out of my mind

Ok...I had alllll those same symptoms and my doctor did all those same tests...Blah blah blah....Start taking an acid reducer before every meal. I know...I know...I said the same thing...Acid is not the problem...But guess what...It solved it! I take it before every meal and before bed time. I just got the generic brand that you can get at the dollar store (it had the same stuff as the name brand and was five dollars less), and it worked like a charm. I wish you much luck! Let me know if it works for you. Mine stopped hurting the 2nd day. Let me know!!

Gallbladder is upper right side...Pain is mostly under the ribs on right side.

I have been having the same pain and a bubbly like feeling on my left side. Has your son had any surgery? I had a c-section and some doctors tell me one thing and others say it is scar tissue.

Hope you find something..I hate to hear about a child being in pain

Ive had pain on the lower left hand side of my abdominal for about 5 days now. It feels like someone is squeezing and twisting my insides. Is it true that altho your appendiz is on the right side you feel the pain on the left? Someone please help me out. I have no clue what it is

Ummmmm I have the same problem left side pain and it has been going for about a year and a couple of months now..It really hurts sometimes and the doctors cant find anything wrong I think they are in denial of helping me and im only 16 and they still wont help.. :( wish they would help me

I started with the pain in middle of rib cage then recently it has extended from there all the way around to my spine. I was suppose to go for gall bladder test but lack of insurance and husband walking out on me with out money has prevented it . Is there any relief with out going to doctor. Cant afford it. The pain in the middle of ribcage has been going on for almost two yrs but was off and on the last two weeks is when the pain spread hurting so bad I wanna lay down and cry. Anyone with info pass it on ty

:? I have been have the same pain, and it hurt really bad but mine will come then go away. Its not like the cramps sometimes I cant even move.
Trust me I am going to find out what it is and I will let you know.

Sorry but the last post stating appendix pain is always on the lower right side is incorrect. Appendix pain often begins as a gripping pain just below the belly button that comes and goes in waves this can last days then the pain may or may not move to the right side depending on how inflamed it is and wether or not it is rupturing. In my case I never had lower right side pain but I did have an appendectomy due to acute appendicitis.

Me too but mine travels up to my shoulder, but not my arm, then back down my stomach sometimes going to my bellybutton. It is a twisting sensation and hurts really bad. Tomorrow I am going to the doctor.

You people with gut pain "may possibly" be experiencing intestinal cramping. If doctors have thoroughly examined the patients and cannot find any cause I would say that intestinal cramps may be a likely problem. I have suffered from this, it is very painful and can feel like your being stabbed with a spear and like the desciption says its your intestinal muscle wall cramping, (just like you would normally get a leg cramp).

The most common cause of this condition is a diet too high in fat, to avoid these painful cramps simply eat well plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables(fast food and alcohol must be completely eliminated at least for a few weeks) combined with mild excercise and you will find you will eliminate this painful condition in no time. Some people are more prone to this condition than others so you will really need to take care of yourself and avoid unhealthy fatty foods to prevent a relapse.

Either way if your doctor is ever unable to come up with a diagnosis to an ailment or does not give you a reasonable answer to a complaint I suggest you see another doctor.
