One day I went to doctor about some pain I was having on my left side in my rib area. He thought it was just a pulled muscle but when I went for a ultrasound for my kidneys. We noticed that my left kidney was high under my rib cage and also was larger than it was suppose to be. The pain went away after a few days but it comes back every once in a while. I have been through so many test that I am sick of it. Why would my kidney be like it is?
