Suggest Treatment For Stabbing Pain In The Ribs

Posted on Fri, 3 Mar 2017

Question: Good morning,

A little over a week has passed since I felt an ongoing moderate ache along the lower left side of my rib cage. It is not a stabbing pain but it is constant and this morning seems to have moved a little further up my rib cage toward my chest. When I cough the ache is enhanced.

Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!

You symptoms like lower left abdominal pain may be related with :

- constipation
- urinary issues like stones or crystals

This is why to my opinion you need to do :
- abdominal ultrasound
- urine analysis
Meantime I suggest to :
- use plenty of water
- use antispasmodic drugs like butyscopolamine.
If your symptoms doesn't get improve than you need to consult your physician.

It appears that it was a kidney stone urinary issue. It seems that the stone(s) passed during an uncomfortable night's rest.

Thank you
