What Causes Pain Below The Rib Cage On The Left Side?
I am having a lot of pain right below my ribs on the left side it comes and goes and radiates toward the back and front. The pain becomes quite severe. I had an X-ray and lab work but haven t heard anything back yet. I m not sure what brings it on or if I can eat or take aspirin for the pain.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
The pain you are describing is suggestive of pancreatitis. Serum amylase.lipase levels, USG abdomen is recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Follow up with the urgent care for necessary evaluation and restrain from alcohol.
