What Causes Swelling Under The Rib Cage On The Right Side?
my stomach is swelled on right upper side under ribs and has been for probably 4 or 5 years. I never had any problem until now when I sleep on my stomach it will ache and hurt. I have told doctors about my stomach being bigger on one side. They don t think anything is wrong, but now there is some pain.
