Need Medication For Pinching & Stabbing Pain Under The Left Rib

I am having a pinching stabbing sensation under my left rib while laying down. If I sit up and lean to the right the pain begins to dull? My left rib is sticking out a little more than normal and it feels like a bubble or something under it. It's extremely painful!

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hi. I can understand your concern.
It would be advisable for you to get a chest x ray done. To look for any lung infection. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
