Pain, under my left side of ribs,?

it feels like a hot burning crampy like stitch, like i have something caught or trapped, more uncomfortable than toothache,it gets so bad whilst driving im having to poke myself in the painful area to give some relief,
its made worse by standing and sitting, i have not taken any medication other than normal painkillers,
Answer:
You don't say when it started or how long you have had it for. It could be many things , something simple like trapped wind which will cause massive amounts of pain until it shifts or it could be something more serious. You need to provide more information like if you have done any excercise that may have started it off etc.Personally I would call your GP or the out of hours doctor to be seen and find out what it could be. In the mean time drink plenty of water (strange advice I know) but very often pain is caused by dehydration so just make sure you eliminate that as a possibility. Good luck I know the kind of pain you mean and it isn't pleasant
go to a dr! it could be a hernia or something wrong with an organ!
this could be your apendix-- get an MRI and an X_RAY
Have you been to the doc? Could be a peptic ulcer. Should go in before it results in needing surgery. Good luck.Kate, you're appendix are on your lower right abdomen
you do need to take some painkillers bad if that does not work go see the doctor fast if you dont i think it says here you can get a little bit of cancer
You need to have this checked out by a doctor as soon as possible, but it sounds as if you could have a kidney infection or kidney stone.If the pain gets really bad go along to your local Emergency Dept.Hope you are feeling better very soon
A.D.
Is it better or worse after meals? Did you suffer any trauma to that area ever? What kind of painkillers? If a gastric ulcer was the cause of your pain, taking alot of aspirin or NSAIDS (like ibuprofen) could ironically worsen the ulcer, make you prone to bleeding from there. Get evaluated by a doctor.
Go to the doctor.. i
