I have had pain in my lower left rib cage now for almost a month..Its not major pain..Hurts when I sit certain ways and when I touch it sometimes it is tender.Possibly a torn muscle or cracked rib? Is this anything to be worried about??

Me Too...
Have had this for almost 3 months, it started when I ate soup that upset my intestinal tract, which reactivated my ibs symptoms (have had ibs for years off/on) - so sometimes think this is related to inflammation of the small intestine - also very bloated, with distented gut! How uncomfortable. The pain is in my left rib & feels as though it knots up. The pain is constant & gets worse as the day goes on. I get relief when I lie down & it disappears thru the night. So, have conlcuded that gravity affects the pain or is it food (as I don't eat thru the night). Like all the others, have had c-scans of abdomen, ribs, ultrasounds, blood tests, colonoscopy - all normal. So frustrating - it feels as if something is poking into my lower ribs & feels like it's knotting up, how can this be just stress? I'm going to try cleansing/detoxing then at least hopefully i'll be rid of possible parasites & toxins. Also, going to p.E. - my therapist says ribs can move. It's a strange disorder, gall bladder doesn't enter in, wrong side I guess, but wonder if this could be the source as pain can move. I'm open to any suggestions
