Hello Southp, and a warm welcome to our forum, I advise you to go back to G.P and let him/her know you are in discomfort. Any pain at all is worth investigating. Nice to have you with us😊 let us know how you get on? 👍

Hello Southp and welcome,

Im a newbie too! I get pains under my ribs but wasnt sure why-i had an edoscope and it was discovered that i have a hiatus hernia and reflux prob due to a valve being weak. I have yablets for it-it settled down but sometimes it flares up again.

I think it might be worth looking at your diet and seeing a GP but it was a locum that spotted it.

I also have a gall stone so he said it was a process of elimination!

Good luck!

Janzo

Hi I dont know if its the same type of pain but i have had a dull aching pain sounds much the same as yours. It's as though its behind my ribs on right side. Doctor reckons it could be gall stones but nothing showing up on scan. I have had this a few years now. Quiet often when it gets really bad it seems to penetrate to my upper back on left side . Ive had it checked out on numerous occasions over a period of years. Iv,e got to the stage now where i just grin and bear it until it gets to the stage where I can,t stand it then go back to doctor who says the same thing again. I was reading up about intercostal muscles which are a small group of muscles situated between the ribs. I am going to mention it to my doctor next time I'm down. It will be interesting to see what your doctor says.
