What Causes Pain Under The Left Ribcage That Is Radiating To The Back?
Hello, I recently had my gallbladder out back in July. I also have an ulcer in the bottom of my esophagus as well as a hiatal hernia. Recently I have been experiencing pains under my left ribs cage that goes to my back and sometimes into my left shoulder. Why am I getting pain?

Hello,
Most probably it is due to conditions like costochondritis. We have to rule out neuropathic causes also.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
