I don't know what is going on. I have been getting a stabbing pain right by my left rib and it hurts. Feels like something going to pop. It comes and goes in waves. I also get nausea really bad. I have been going number 2 normal lately. I have had a cyst before and a kidney stone. I remember the last time that I had a kidney stone the pain was in the very exact spot. The only thing that seems to help is adrax. The only thing is I don't take it all the time cause it knocks me out the whole entire day. Makes you sleep lol! Any suggestions? They really can't do anything for kidney stones they just have to pass on there own. Also all they give u is pain meds and have to drink plenty of water. I can get alot of kidney stones cause I have horseshoe kidneys .
