What Causes Constant Pain Under The Ribs?

hi i have been experiencing pain in around my rib cage both sides. it feels like my muscles are cramping...like a charlie horse but under my breast around my ribs. i have been ignoring them and when i asked my doctor he referred casually that it sounds like the huggies. but he has never given me a real diagnose. what medical test can i have done to get rid of these annoying hugs...they really hurt. the other day i went to the emergency room thinking i was having a heart attack. all came back normal. sorry, i did not realize i had to pay. sorry for inconveniencing you. I am retired on a fixed income budget. thanks..God Blesss
