Could H.Pylori Or Approaching Periods Be Causing Dull Constant Pain Under The Left Ribs?
Hi - I have pain since this morning on the left side of my body under my ribs - hurts with every step I take. I usually run thursday mornings and any jarring really hurt it (I tried to run but after several steps, aborted that idea) so I did cardio on eliptical trainer in gym instead. It has not subsided and it has been at least 6 or 7 hours now. My period (menstrual cycle) is due in exactly one week. Could it be something related to that? It is not a sharp pain but dull constant pain. Enough to make me feel not very well! I do have Helicobacter Pylori so maybe this is related but have not experienced this pain at length like this before. I look forward to hearing any suggestions. Thanks
