I have recently developed a pain in my right ribs when I swallow. I also had a similar problem on my left side about 2 months ago, but that was a constant pain & has since gone away.Last Aug. is when my stomach problems started. I had a horrible pain right in the middle of my upper stomach, where the ribs meet. That lasted 3 days, but on the third day I had quite a bit of blood in my stool. After that I was left with a mild stomach pain & bad heartburn which I had never had a problem with.I still have the heartburn problem, but it comes and goes. I m not sure what the problem may be?
