weird sensation under my left rib cage

[AnnOBrien]

Hey, I made a post about this recently under "Left Abdomen Pain". Still have it, both to the left of my naval and under my left rib cage, towards the middle of the chest where the rib cage curves. I think its all muscular from being so tense over the last week or so, though I have had abdomen pains on and off for months. Sometimes it feels like its radiating from my back too, which of course is in bits like most people with anxiety. Its a horrible feeling, I wish my body could get a break from it so it may have a chance of getting back to normal

Yeah I'm not sure about mine either.. Does your feel worse when u have wind? My stomach muscles left side ache too! No idea why

Yeah the just under the rig cage discomfort can feel like trapped wind but the lower pain doesn't, that's just an ache. I'm sure your sore stomach muscles are from tension. I think I end up holding myself weirdly when I'm sitting in work, plagued with worries but trying to look like I'm doing something useful and I end up causing these pains, as well as my back pain.

Hope so! It's very scary. It's been over a wk! I hold my son on that side so hopefully that's causing the pain. Weird though.

Hi, I too am having strange feelings in my chest just below my left ribs. I have (in the last 12 months) had a c-section that has many complications including baby flipping during procedure and tearing my womb badly. I had 3hours of surgery and was very ill. Ever since I had pain for 5months and now a weird sensation (almost like someone is washing up inside me) and very much like a wriggling baby during pregnancy. I had xrays that showed something and my doctor put it down to chest infection....!
PS.... this for me isn't down to constipation as my section has caused me to have IBS an I'm never constipated lol.

Yes ive had this. Years ago and that's exactly how I described it.. Like when the babies foot gets under your rib! I've got it again now.. Can last for
Months. It's trapped wind. It's horrible.

[Foot in ribs]

Omg I can't believe what I'm reading,I have been having this same issue for about three months now with the last week being really bad, but I also have another symptom like being pregnant,,I feel tremendous pressure in my lower abdomen like would be in last weeks of pregnancy , not preg, had hysterectomy years ago, the only relief from the pressure is to sit on the toilet not to use it,,just sitting as if to use it,, and some relief is brought to the 'foot in rib' by arching my back as far as I can and doing just as I did when babies foot stuck, by slowing guiding it down out from under the ribs,, I can't feel anything on the 'outside' as far as to touch but if I had to describe the size of what I feel inside,under my left rib I would say it is bout the size of a orange,, gas?? I hope it's that simple,, I hate to go to doctor so I keep putting it off, but this last week it has got more and more uncomfortable so I have been peep talking myself to go,, guess I will see who wins out,my fear of docs or my self peep talks lol,

I can't believe how common this is I've had this symptom for about 7 months, I thought if I didn't know better I would say I was pregnant when the baby moves around and don't have much room to move and pushes up in my ribs and also when I sneeze sometimes it feels like a rib is getting stuck over another rib then and has to go back into place its very strange.
