Q: Trapped Air Bubble Feeling Behind Left Rib?

For about two weeks I have had a feeling like an air bubble was behind my rib cage. Then after playing about 6 games of air hockey I noticed when I was in the shower that my left rib was actually kind of sticking out, swollen and appears to be bruised. It does not hurt on the outside and doesnt cause too much pain at all besides the bubble feeling here and there but always behind my left rib cage. I am a 26 yr old female. I have never had heartburn or stomach problems. I do not have constipation or diarreah. Has anyone had this type of pain behind left rib?

me too! its so unsual and at times very uncomfortable. I experience no pain, but the feeling is like having a carbonated soda floating around under the rib cage that never goes flat. it's sooooooo annoying!

this may not work for everyone depending on what exactly is wrong with the individual, but some may find relief from having their diaphragm adjusted. ask your chiropractor.
