What Causes Discomfort In Left Side And Rib Cage?

I have had this uncomfortable feeling up and down my left side for three weeks now. Sometimes it is under my left rib cage and I can feel it in my back. It seem to be relieved for a short time after burping or passing gas but it comes back. I have diverticulosis and am 37 years old male. Can you help please.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to the presence of gas in the colon.
I suggest using Simethicone medications three times a day to relieve the bloating.
I also suggest using a spasmolytic in case of pain.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
