Question:
knot under left rib cage

I'm a year and 7 months out and three weeks ago I started getting pain under lt rib cage. It feels like a knot thou I can't feel it with my hand. At times it hurts real bad than other times mildly. Any advice would be helpful. ty.    — sttar (posted on November 1, 2005)

I would suggest you call your doctor and let him/her know what's going on. Sometimes when I haven't gone to the bathroom in a few days, my left side hurts too. Good Luck and please let me know how you do.

consisten pain for 3 weeks, sometimes severe, a trip to the pcp sound like idea to me. if tumor. or intestinal blockage motivates you or sounds scary, so be it, better sooner than later. three weeks with undianosed pain is long enough.
