Pain in left side under the rib

[Anitasmith]

Hello,

I have RA diagnosed 6 years ago. Right now i am taking enbrel and tramadol. I have weird pain left side under my rib cage. Sometimes pain us reflect back too. I know spleen and pancreas on this side.

Do someone had similar symptoms and what can be ?

I do have doctor appointment next week, just worry here because pain is already 1 week

Possibly Costochondritis. A lot of members have it, including me.

Hi Anita

Best ask your GP or Rheumatology team since it could be a number of things. If it worsens, use the Out of Hours service ie 111, if in the UK.

I hope you have a good weekend!

Yes I think need to go emergency service, i am in Germany

All the best with that. Hope it puts your mind at rest/diagnoses the problem. 🙂

Hi

Iv been taking enbrel for 3 years now, I have never had that sort of pains. I know tramadol is very strong so I think it may be that drug. I wouldn't wait for your appointment I would call them and explain your issue, you shouldn't have to wait when your on these sorts of drugs, they may recommend a blood test

All the best

Went doctor yesterday and looks like have costochondritis. Weird they didn’t made blood test and my pain still here going today another clinic because pain is same...

[KittyJ in reply to Anitasmith]

It can last more than a couple of days Anita. It’s a very painful thing to have. Why did you want a blood test may I ask?

[Anitasmith]

Because I think can be something else, i feel also little bit dizziness. And my last blood test is 1 year ago. Maybe wait couple days?

I've had Costochondritis on and off for 5 years. I never goes away completely.

[Anitasmith in reply to Hidden]

5 years? Did is getting little bit better? My pain us pretty bad

[Hidden]

I was told by a nurse that it can feel just like a heart attack, but to be sure get yourself checked out by your GP.

I've had this for a year, my spleen was enlarged due to RA but now its not and the pain is still there, it hurts when I burp, yawn, sneeze or stretch... I've had MRI and CT scans, xrays, no one can seem to find a cause.On another note, pain that radiates from front to back could be kidney pain, I often get kidney infections and that's my symptom of it.
