Pain under rib cage worse after eating Posted: 11-08-07 10:30am


could someone please help? I have pain under my left rib cage and sometimes my left back kidney area. Its sharp at times and scary. I wont have insurance for a couple weeks, i went to the doctor once and he said it was gastroenteritis without even looking at me. Also sometimes have pain in right kidney area but not as bad. Seems to be much worse after eating. Anyone have a clue what it could be or something i can try untill i get insurance

It could very well be inflammation of the stomach especially if it occurs after eating. Because it is on the left side it is probably not an acute gallbladder problem. Other organs on the left include the spleen and left kidney and pancreatic tail somewhat. These could be easily checked with an ultrasound, and an upper GI xray can test for esophageal/stomach problems. Hope this helps
