I had this same pain under left rib cage
some times radiates to the novel and left
back side for one and a half years.
What I tell you, might not be correct, but
at least you can check it with your doctor
and practice and see it for yourself. No
cost involved and miraculous result.
I had been thru all the tests name them
blood work, X-ray, colonoscopy, endoscopy,
ultra sound and all. Couple of pain
medications and multi vitamins.
Finally I have got the solution from
Indian Ayurveda. Simple solution.
I had boiled the mint leaf (called in
India as podheena leaf) in a glass of
water for five minutes and filter the
leaves out and drink the warm water in the
morning and repeat the same process in the
night before go to bed. It helped a lot
and I am not getting this pain any more.
Try to avoid potatoes and wheat if you
can.
If you need any info on this PL feel free
to PM me
Good luck.

Pain In Back Under Ribs 9th - 11th Left Side Posted: 09-12-07 17:41pm
I also have pain in my ribs, left side,
which originates in my back.
This is how this all started with me:
I was sick in May with a bad cold, then
went right into the flu, then right into a
pinched nerve in my shoulder/back/neck and
5 days later this severe kidney infection
with my WBCs at 17.2. I still have this
intense pain in my left rib (9th - 11th
ribs) area (constantly there &
progressively gets worse during the day.
Breathing does not make it worse. Doc
thought spleen or cracked rib but
everything has come back clear. It hurts
when she pushes on it. Bending doesn't
aggrevate it, although twisting to the
left hurts. I can't lay on my left side,
laying on my back bothers it, and laying
on my stomach hurts my front bottom ribs
– although I can't sleep on my stomach
anyway. I am on hydrocodone (Norco) for
the pain that spreads up my left shoulder
& under my arm up under my breast.
Even on the pain meds its at a 4 or 5
& can get up to a 7 oro 8 without the
meds. I don't go without them though, it
hurts too much. And I had 2 babies without
pain meds or an epidural! Sometimes it
feels like the stitch you get in your side
from exercising, without the hard time
breathing part. I do my yoga daily (twice
daily if I can help it) & try to keep
everything stretched in case it's a muscle
issue. I am at a health weight.. I have
been taking 800 ibuprofen 3 x's daily
& it doesn't feel like something is
coming out my back anymore, like it did in
the beginning. I don't have that swelling
feeling & can lean back in a chair
carefully now, although last night in bed
has me concerned. I was about ready for a
trip to the ER. I usually feel better in
the morning, but the pain never goes away.
It is ALWAYS there, just worse as the day
goes on. Besides the pain I have lost 28
pounds in the last 10 weeks. That is what
the doc is concerned about. I lost 3 more
pounds since I saw her 2 weeks ago. I am
now the thinnest I have been since high
school (no complaints by me if there is
nothing seriously wrong). I have struggled
with my weight for years & years, but
now it is just falling off. I have tried
to gain weight over the last few weeks to
put my families worries to rest (my
brother who is 36 was just diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer), but still ended up
losing a few more pounds. I have had tons
of tests.... and since nothing showed up
on the CT scan & all the other tests,
then I am not worried. If it is cancer
they would have found it by now. She's
worried about the intestines & palops
& things, but I don't think there is
any problems there. I am sure I don't have
cancer, so I kinda think we should just
find out why I don't feel the urge to pee,
why sometimes it burns when I pee &
why I have this rib pain. I also have been
swelling horrible, (although it hasn't
been too bad the last couple days since
it's been chilly). Although I have lost
all this weight, my rings won't fit
because my fingers swell, not just late in
the day, but when I wake up too. I still
do get those pelvic cramps, but I
attribute that to the ovarian cysts...
Even my stylist said my hair is falling
out! The doctor said it was from stress,
which with my brother sick I certainly am
under a lot of stress, so it very well
could be. Besides water in my ear (LEFT
side!! Ovarian cyst is on the left side
too, I swear the left side is falling
apart) & extreme fatigue, they haven't
found much besides periodic blood in
urine, protein in urine a time or two,
calcium crystals in urine, a little higher
pH in urine, and some cysts on my ovaries
which I was told are no big deal.
I can't believe that no one can figure out
our problem. They thought kidney stones,
then spleen or cracked rib, but nothing.
She told me it is definitely NOT the
kidney because it is tender when you push
on it & she said it would not be
tender if it was the kidney, that's why
she thought maybe the spleen but it came
back normal on the CT. I can't believe
that they wouldn't think that cysts on the
spleen would cause pain – I am sure it
does! Crazy!
BTW, I have been having tachychardia, too.
My resting heart rate has been around 100.
Blood pressure has been really good
though. But since I had sinus tachycardia
when I was pregnant, they attribute it to
that & don't think there is much
concern in the heart department.
The CT scan came back clear except for
mild prominence of the uterus,
phlebolitrhs project over the pelvis &
bilateral ovarian cysts.
Cytology - negative.
CBC & thyroid & everything else
lab related came back in or near normal
ranges...
Ultrasound (pelvic) found ovarian cysts,
one 2.5 CM.
IVP - normal
Bone scan - normal
Rib/Chest X-ray - normal
Doc wants an MRI. I am not sure what an
MRI would show that a CT scan &
Ultrasound & IVP haven't already
cleared. Why spend the money?
She also did a pap (haven't had one in
many years...) & pelvic & breast
exam. Waiting for the results but she said
everything looks okay, no bleeding. She
wants me to do this hema screen test on my
poo - yuck! Not sure I even want to bother
with it, but I am anyway. I just think
maybe we are digging a little too far. She
was talking scopes next if the MRI is
clear. I don't think there is anything
wrong with my digestive system, though.
I don't drink coffee or alcohol or tea or
soft drinks. I am pretty much drinking
water all the time. I started drinking
even more water when this first happened
& they thought I had stones. But no
stones, but I still drink all water. I
don't have the best diet, but I do eat
yogurt (activa) daily & I do eat
salads & things. I probably eat a bit
too much carbs, but my stomach really
doesn't get upset. I have noticed a slight
increase periodically in burping, but no
diarhea or heartburn or anything like
that. No blood in stools. Same very firm
poo like always.
Anyone have any suggestions? I dont think
it is kidney problems, doesn't feel like
muscle pain to me (I could be wrong,
though), and I don't think it's a gi
issue... Gotta be something, though!
Should I not do these tests? It has cost
me so much already & if there was
cancer or something seriously wrong they
would have found it by now, don't you
think? I would love any suggestions...

Stand On Your Head Posted: 09-16-07 05:33am
I found a solution!
I have had this pain under my left rib
cage as well. We thought it was an ulcer
and I had taken antibiotics and proton
pump inhibitors for ulcer. The pain
persisted. I had always thought my pain
was different than an ulcer because when I
push under my left ribcage I feel a
something move. It feels like it pops
into my body and pops back out when I let
go. It almost seems like I can hear a
clicking noise inside myself though it’s
only the clicking feeling.
I have read of similar experiences here
and other places online and found it to
most likely be gas due to splenic flexure
syndrome. http://en.wikipedia
.org/wiki/Splenic_flexure Besides the
moving air bubble I feel, it aggravates
the symptoms when I am working at the
computer for hours sitting in poor
posture.
So armed with this knowledge, and being
the genius I am, I set out to find a
solution. I decide gas rises and rests in
this splenic flexure - the best solution
I could think of was to stand on my head
to allow the gas to escape down the proper
avenues. So ther I was, feet up, flipped
against the wall for a minute. When I
turned over and stood up I expelled a
tremendous amount of gas. I felt no more
pain there and when I pushed on that spot
no more bubble feeling or pain. I have
only tried this once tonight, so it’s
not tried and true yet. But I’d like to
know if this works for anyone else. I’d
like to get the problem permanently fixed
as well. However if this solution works,
I’ll pay the price of looking a little
silly in public standing on my head for a
minute…
PM me and i'll tell you how to send me a
donation for my Ingenious discovery!!
Cheers,

Ouch! Posted: 09-17-07 16:19pm
So mine's kind of a long story.
Back in late January of 2007, I went with
my family to go skiing and after a buffet
meal at our hotel, we went back to our
room and maybe two hours later, the pains
started.
It was so bad I can't recall exactly what
kind of a pain it was, but I remember that
it was centered in my chest region under
my breastbone and it was a combination of
sharp pain, pressure, and generalized UGH
that seemed to move around in that general
area. I started getting chills and
developed a high fever and I grew
violently nauseous which led to violent
vomiting which happened every 15 minutes
for the first hour or so and then died
down to every half an hour and then every
hour until a day and a half had passed.
Being out of town, I didn't see a doctor
even though I should have, but I called my
physician who said it sure seemed like
'stomach flu' or a case of food poisoning
or some viral infection.
When we got back home, I still felt awful
though I wasn't vomiting anymore and I
checked in with my doctor. My stomach
area in general was extremely tender to
the touch and my doctor said that
regardless of whatever it was I caught
earlier, I now had gastritis and probably
from taking NSAIDs during the course of
that 'stomach flu' to combat the high
fever.
He prescribed Nexium and I took it and
whether or not it helped, I honestly have
no idea, but in about a week or so, the
lingering pains went away and everything
seemed to be fine. I'll make a note here
that despite the violence of the 'stomach
flu' incident, I had no issues with my
bowels at all.
Fast forward to March and one day for no
apparent reason, I find myself
experiencing sharp pains under the general
area of my breastbone.
I've had heartburn before, but that wasn't
a heartburn pain. I treated it like
heartburn anyways, though, with yogurt and
calcium and magnesium and Zantac and of
course, it didn't go away or get better.
I went to see the doctor again and he said
it was the gastritis flaring back up again
and gave me Nexium. Took Nexium for two
weeks without any resolutions and so I
stopped taking it. Thought it might be an
ulcer and so I changed my diet and added
some aloe juice to my diet to help coat
the lining and that didn't help either.
This strange sharp pain wasn't worse at
any particular time - regardless if it was
before, after, or during a meal, it hurt,
and regardless if I were active or not, it
hurt. Bland foods or spicy foods, either
way, it hurt.
And then after several weeks of this, it
suddenly disappeared. Not slowly died
down. Just... upped and left.
Fast forward about a few more weeks.
I get hit with this same pain AGAIN.
This time, I have an appointment with a GI
specialist and he can't figure out what's
wrong and recommends an upper endoscopy.
He had a few possibilities in mind - more
gastritis, issues with my pancreas, issues
with my liver, issues with my spleen (I
have Hemoglobin H Disease, a type of
thalassemia which is a type of
genetic-caused chronic anemia, so I
already have issues with my spleen), or
issues with my gallbladder (my thalassemia
makes me more prone to the possibility of
developing gallstones or acquiring sludge
in my gallbladder).
I get an ultrasound done which shows
nothing remarkable except for my enlarged
spleen - something I already knew about a
long time ago.
A few days before the appointment for the
endoscopy, I get sick with migraine-like
headaches and a fever which leads to
enlarged lymph glands and a sore throat
and so I was unable to get the endoscopy
done.
It is also at this time that this
particular bout of stomach pain goes away
like it did the last time. Here today,
gone tomorrow.
Now, it is mid September, and ever since,
my GI system and my stomach area in
general has been feeling unwell. I am now
getting chronic gnawing/aching pains in my
stomach region that seems to favor the
left side and every so often, I will pass
stools that are oily and foul.
Up until this last January, I have NEVER
had these sorts of weird GI/whatever
problems at all. My GI tract has been,
for the most part, extremely healthy,
regular, and in general good shape. Now,
it's like it's struggling and getting
irritated and annoyed at just about
everything.
... And we STILL don't know what the hell
this problem is.
I am making an appointment with my
hematologist to see if he can shed more
light on the situation - if this is a
liver, spleen, or gallbladder issue
related to my thalassemia, then he'd be
more able to figure it out - and I still
need to get the upper endoscopy done even
though I am fairly certain it will yield
nothing.
I'm frustrated, stressed, and looking
forward to an end to these problems or
at least a solid answer.
If I get any further with figuring out
these problems, I'll let you know!

Standing On Your Head Doesn't Work For Me... Posted: 09-18-07 17:16pm
I tried the standing on my head. Well, I
actually did some inversions during my
yoga today & yesterday. Doesn't work.
Bummer. Same CONSTANT pain. Ugh.
Also, my pain is on my left side,
originating in my back, spreading up my
back left shoulder & going under my
left armpit & under my breast. My pain
is NOT something that is in the center of
my chest... Kind of rules out the
inflammation of the ribs...

If you are testing positive for h pilory
that is the bacteria that causes an ulcer.
Sounds like you have an ulcer.
Sounds like that might be what I have,
too. I am going for an EGD &
colonoscopy. I meet the surgeon Tuesday. I
have gastrointestinal bleeding (they found
blood in my stool using the fecal occult
blood test) so they have to figure out
where. Sounds like what I have, too.
Please go to the doctor to get fixed up.

the upside down thing seemed to work a few
times, but only works half the time

Left Pain As Well Posted: 10-02-07 04:29am
Hello.. I'm new to this site. I'm a bit
relieved to know that I'm not alone!! I've
been having pain on both sides under my
rib it feels like.. I've been in and out
of the hospital, blood tests, x-ray, and
sonogram. (all normal) just like everyone
else here I see! I just gave the hospital
a stool sample, there going to look for
ulcers or aybe an IBS problem. The Doc
thinksit's my intestines.. ? I'm also
having shortness of breath that comes with
a twitching under my left rib... it sounds
weird, but if you put your hands there,
you'd feel it thumping almost ike a heart
beat.. feels like my muscle is twitching.
I'm impatiently waiting for the test
results to come back, i'll keep
posted...could this be an ulcer? and how
do you manage it?

Re: Pain On the Left Driving Me Insane Posted: 10-03-07 12:40pm
I too have the pain on the left side. It
seems to get worse after I eat a lot of
sugar (also an aggitator of my
endometriosis). Has your doctor considered
parasites as a cause? How about leaky gut
syndrom? Both typically occur together.
Try a parasite cleanse consisting of
wormwood, black walnut hull, and cloves.
This should kill all stages. Whether you
have them or not, you'll feel better after
trying it. Rememer to take a good
probiotici in the morning on en empty
stomach, 15-30 mins. before eating. This
will help replenish healthy gut flora,
hopefully balancing what's wrong with your
stomach.
Possible Cause of Pain In Left Side Posted: 10-03-07 12:47pm
I too have experienced the gnawing pain in
my left side, particularly after indulging
in too many sweets (also an aggitator of
my endometriosis. ) Has your doctor
suggested leaky gut syndrome or parasites
as a cause. I'd look into it, the both
seem to occur together. Try a cleanse of
black walnut hull, wormwood, and cloves.
Basically free to make if you grow the
wormwood and find the walnut hulls. Even
if it's not what you have, you'll
certainly feel better after trying it.
And most importantly, take a good
probiotic ( I only trust the refrigerated
kind) on an empty stomach, 15-20 mins.
before eating, each morning, to help
replenish and balance beneficial gut
flora. Hope tihs helps,
Good luck,
Jenna

Upper Left Abdominal Pain & Pressure Posted: 10-10-07 11:07am
I have been experiencing this pain for
about a year now, I too have that weird
clicking when I press on the area. It is
almost like a bubble popping. That
"bubble" is the direct source of my pain.
I have been to my General Practitioner,
Gastro, Gyno to no avail. I have had
Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, MRI, Ultrasounds,
Abdominal XRays with nothing remarkable.
I have missed countless days of work,
spent thousands (literally) on tests and I
still have no definitive answer.
I have been to a colon hydrotherapist
which actually helped temporarily, but at
$120 a visit it doesnt seem to be worth
temporary relief. The latest visit to a
professional was just last week, I was
referred to a Naturopath. She spent about
90 minutes with me, questioning everything
I eat, how much I sleep, about childhood
illness, etc. It was honestly the first
time that I felt that someone was really
listening to my issue. She assured me
that she would get to the bottom of this
and she does not just dismiss this as
stress related (although she said it
doesnt help). She asked me to try a
strict regimen of diet, exercise and
supplements. I just received the
supplements yesterday , so I started last
night with them.
I have pretty much exhausted the
conventional medicine route, leaving me
frustrated, anxious, angry, and tired. I
am choosing this alternative because I
feel it is the only hope I have left to be
pain free. Has anyone else had luck with
a Naturopath?? I will let you all know
how this works, if at all.
Be well

ground flaxseed 1 to 3 tbsp. a day with or
without food. i did and the pain has went

take fiber tablets as well. you can find
the ground flaxseed at walmart in the food
section or in tablets in the vitamin

Bubbly Feeling Under Left Rib Cage Posted: 10-28-07 09:18am
It could be several things. After some
research online, I found it could
be..........
Costochondritis and Tietze's Syndrome
Colitis
Peritonitis
GERD
IBS
Google these for the symptoms and check
with your doctor and see a Gastro doctor
as well. Hope this helps you all.

Same Problems Here Posted: 11-01-07 18:35pm
Hi, I came across this forum after doing a
google search for "pain in the left side
of my body." I was actually kind of
relieved to see that I'm not the only one
suffering with this/these problems. My
very long story short is that I started
with "weirdness" in my stomach 3 years
ago...that's right, 3 years! I had a lot
of gas noises and grumblings running
throughout my body. I had also been
experiencing a lot of burping.....morning,
noon and night. No pain or real
discomfort....just the burping and
noise...which was loud and embarrasing.
I've always had bowel issues....which the
docs always chalked up to IBS (which as
far as i'm concerned, they use as the
"catch-all" when they can't find anything
else. Later the next year, I started
experiencing bouts of nausea along with
the weird noises. The nausea would last
from anywhere from a few hours to 2 weeks.
Since then, I've had practically every
test imaginable....CT scans, colonoscopy,
upper endoscopy, u/s and still the same
diagnosis....IBS. In the last 6 weeks, I
started getting weird sensations which
were in the left upper side of my
body...around the breast/heart area...so I
go back to my doc who sends me to a
cardiologist. He did an EKG,
echocardiogram, chest x-ray and
stress-test - all of which came back
normal. But now the pain on my left side
near the rib cage is getting stronger. I
have another endoscope (with another GI
doctor) scheduled for next week. I'm just
praying that someone finds something
(hopefully non-life-threatening and
cureable) soon because I'm truly at the
end of my rope both physically and
mentally. I dread making plans with
family or friends because I never know how
I'm going to feel when I wake up each
morning. I'm willing to try anything at
this point just so I feel better. This
"thing" has really taken over my life and
I just want it to go away. Thanks for
letting me vent..... Hopefully we'll all
feel better soon

Sounds almost exactly what's happening to
me, but it's just below my rib. I can
press on it when it hurts, it 'pops' back
in, and I get a sensation of relief
(usually).

Constant Gnawing Pain In the Stomach/abdominal Area!! Posted: 11-07-07 20:08pm
hey guys, i'm really glad i found this
site but i am having a slightly different
problem then what you guys all seem to be
having. It started about 4 months ago.
(i'm a 17 year old female in good shape if
that matters)
i was on vacation and woke up the first
morning around 6 a.m. i thought wow this
is weird i feel hungry but i had a big
dinner last night? so i go get something
to eat, it feels a little better so i dont
think anything of it. and then for the
next 2 weeks the same thing was happening.
i was waking up early with an abnormal
hungry feeling, but it was relieved by
eating. So I get back home and still
don't think too much of it, i was in a
different country, so maybe the time zone
was messing with my body. But then it
continued to wake me up every morning.
then i started having this weird
gnawing/empty/hungry/gas/ hard to explain
feeling (i'm sure you guys know what im
talking about though) near my sternum/
abdominal area.
So finally a few weeks later i'm like dad
i really need to see a stomach doctor
somethings wrong. They thought it was an
ulcer, so they put me on prilosec to stop
the acid from getting to the ulcer and
making it better. so i was on that for a
good month and a half and i noticed it was
getting better (not as bad during the day)
but it wasn't back to normal. So I end up
not having an ulcer. The next thing they
do is a stool sample to see if there's any
bacteria for h.pylori. Well it came back
negative, so i'm like great they can't
find anything wrong with me yet i have
this gnawing sensation in my stomach all
day and night (it's relieved by eating
most of the time but then pain keeps
coming back)
and so a few weeks later i start freaking
out, it's affecting my sleep and anything
else i want to do during the day .. so
then i finally get the doctor to let me do
an endoscopy.. what a surprise, everything
looked normal! so now i'm really scared,
i know there's stuff going on inside my
stomach but no doctors know what it is ..
THEN i have to use a bravo test just to
see if theres something wrong with the
acid in my body.. the doctor finds that
theres a little problem with acid, yet
I'VE BEEN TAKING ACID PILLS FOR THE PAST 4
MONTHS! (but along with the stomach
feeling i've been having some foods do
cause acid and i kind of burp the food up
a little sometimes but i'm pretty sure
it's not the cause of the whole problem)
so now i'm thinking, yeah i'm going to
have this for the rest of my life.. &
i've been taking tums and it doesnt
relieve it, i started taking my dad's
symax pills which relieved it a little and
now i'm taking Nexium which i don't think
is helping because it makes my stomach
feel like it's filled with gas and it's
really empty! i have an appointment in 2
weeks.. we'll see what happens and i'll
fill you guys in!
so to sum everything thing up i'll eat at
night and then start to feel it when i'm
in bed.. usually i can fall asleep but
then i wake up anywhere from 3-7 because i
feel this weird hungry feeling like an
empty hole in my stomach that never fills
up (if anyone knows what i mean?) and i
eat cereal because that's the only thing
that makes it feel a little better and
then i go to sleep and wake up a few hours
later with the same feeling.. so basically
my stomach has felt "off" for a few months
and it's driving me crazy !!! i never know
when i'm hungry or anything anymore
ANYBODY THAT THINKS THEY HAVE THE SAME
THING AS ME PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL AT
removed ersonal information OR POST A
REPLY THANKS GUYS !!!!!
