The area on the left flank right below the rib cage is tender to the touch and a little warm and bubbles in the urine. No history of trauma, no changes in bowel movement. I feel it when I bend , stretch or sit in my car especially or if I sleep on the left side. It is a constant dull pain that is a 2 or 3 on the scale.
