I have had a pain in my left side right
under my ribs for a long time. Its not a
sharp pain, but a constant ache and
pressure. The urologist says that my
kidney stone should not be causing this
pain because its in the wrong area (not in
an area where it is passable yet).
Sometimes it kind of gurgles there. None
of my Doctors can tell me what is wrong.
Sometimes I feel wore down, irritable and
have sensativity to sound. Not sure where
that comes in. Any suggestions or relief
I can get for this condition.
It is typical for a kidney stone to
manifest severe, sharp pain in one side of
the lower back . Pain from a kidney stone
irradiates from the back to the front side
of the lower abdomen and down to the
inguinal and genital region. A constant
ache and pressure under the left ribcage,
however, doesn’t seem likely to be due
to a kidney stone. You need further
examinations such as a physical
examination, abdominal ultrasound, and
blood analyses (blood count,
sedimentation, liver status, renal status
etc.) to identify the real reason for the
abdominal ache you are experiencing. You
can consult an internist about that.
Emotional irritation and sensitivity to
sound are probably not related with the
abdominal pain.
