Pain at the bottom of my rib cage.

I have pain right at the bottom of my rib cage where the ribs end. It's on both sides. I thought it might be trapped air from the soda I had yesterday but it still feels really tender. It kind of feels like a bruised feeling. Does anyone know what it could be?

Have you been checked for gall bladder or liver issues? Did they take your gall bladder when you had surgery? You may want to see your doctor.

I still have my gall bladder and the doctors are watching it like they expect it to fail anytime now. They want to cut it out - I know they do.   My most recent labs show some elevated levels (doctor speak).

I would massage it on both sides for about 15 minutes.. that is where my gas gets "trapped". I dont drink soda but I get gas from Sugar Free items..

Good luck.

 I had that pain for almost 2 weeks after surgery.  They say that is where they do the most moving around during the surgery so it almost feels like you have bruised ribs.  I use the heating pad which really helped.  I am trying not to drink any soda because if I drink one I swear I will be right back into drinking it all the time.  I can't just have one of anything,  Good luck
