What Causes A Tingling Sensation Under The Rib Cage?

My husband has been having a tingling sensation under his rib cage on left side. He has also been very fatigued last couple weeks. He had an appendectomy about 20 years ago. Otherwise good health and excersizes regularly. He is 49 and weighs 168 pounds. Could this be his spleen/ Will it go away on its own?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to intercostal neuralgia. Common causes of intercostal neuralgia include chest or rib injury and shingles. I suggest using a painkiller such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. If the symptoms continue,I suggest to see a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
