Recurrent pain in ribs and lower left abdomen along with diz

Have you been tested for celiac? I have these symptoms and was just dx'd.

U might have appendicitus

I had similar symptoms about 2 months ago, just constant pain in my left lower ribs, tenderness and inability to sleep. I went to the doctor and he said it was either a pulled muscle or more likely pleurisy (spelling?) which is inflammation of the outer lung. It can be caused by Gastrointestinal distress whether it be constipation or heartburn. After a round of steroids and some painkillers I am fine. I was just instructed to make sure and expand my lungs to make sure not to develop pneumonia. Might be worth looking into.

I too have the same issues you are dealing with..I have Celiac Disease and wonder if any of you have ever been tested for this..I dont know if the pain in the left rib area is from this or not as I have not been able to get back to my drs..NO INSURANCE now..but I know that some of the other things youve listed are similar to Celiac..I have known that I had this for a few years now and still have constant issues with my health..Hope this helps and that you find the answers that you deserve..I know that its frustrating but keep on the drs as they tend to blow people off

hi i have the same problem went to hospital got sent home after one day  but mine is the right side not the left it is so painful and i just wish i could be told what it is

The answer is food allergies, most likely a gluten one. Celic disease resembles irrational bowl syndrome which is why most doctors can't figure it out. You need to get test for this and go to a specialist that knows about Celic disease instead of just any doctor. Hope it helps!!

Celiac? Yup I pretty much self diagnosed that one and it made a lot of things better. But this whole left rib thing happened after all that when i am not eating gluten.
If I eat gluten I feel it first in my fingers if not in my gut with a 'stomach' ache.

I first noticed the left side thing 2 years ago when I drank too much and ate a lot at a party. I got sick the next afternoon and after felt a mild pain in the left side and no appetite for a few days. I finally went to the Dr. who said I over did things and backed up my system and it took days for it to readjust. This sounded so logical.

When pregnant I felt a nagging in my left ribs and the acupuncturist said it was the Liver Meridian (anger, hot) and that sounded fine and she treated me and told me I could massage the spot if it bothered me. For about 18 months I would just treat with massage and it went away.

Then other issues came up, stress, blood pressure up, moved into a moldy home and had ear nose throat (ENT) issues that sent my anxiety to a bad place. And finally I went back to the doctor who ordered standard tests (tomorrow) and said I was fine. Within 2 days the ENT issues were totally gone - we were on vacation. In these few days I started to feel a nagging pain on my left rib again and I massaged it.

On vacation where I proceeded to eat too much and drink a little more than usual - and I threw up that night and passed the largest bowel movement. The pain in the left side was still there. I continued to be able to eat as usual. I hope that I don't be foolish and drink again. As much as a glass of wine seems calming I just think its maybe really bad for me.

Now I have hot castor oil compress on the left side. The pain is much better today. I do not know what is causing this. Blood pressure is back to totally normal after the holiday - lowest since after the baby was born. No fever. A little head ache.

I would say that if you're having pain in your left rib plus stomach/ bowel problems....You should go see an Gastroenterologist, you might find your answer there and request that they do an endoscopy. I'm not a proffesional at this but I started off with problems with my G.I. and it damaged my liver.  I now have left lower abdonminal pains behind my lower rib the doc said my kidney function level was high. So I assume my poor liver function led to my kidney working harder and now i'm having issues with that. It could be anything. But I started with a Gastroenterologist, so I suggest you start there.......Hope this helps!

someone said it might be the use of pain meds.i don't know how severe her back pain is but she should try lay off the meds for a few days and see if the rib pain goes away.

i did take some steroids for about 8 weeks. 3 months later and i am having these issues as well. WHAT IS IT???

Hi. im a 20 year old male. i have had the same problems man. One day i went out with a few buddies and had a few beers and woke up the next morning with serious pain in my abdomen and it circles around but really bad under rib cage. it makes me very very light headed and i constantly have headaches. I was completely fine before this started. I have had all scans done. mri, ct scan, scope. blood tests you name it i have done it. Its been going on for about a year now and never stops your not alone. I am in  really good shape too so im really confused. I was diagnosed with a kidney stone then it was a false alarm. then gastritis, false alarm. then a gallstone false alarm. then i was told i had large inner lining of my stomache and that was the only thing they found. And like you said almost no pain reliever helps. I have no idea where it came from. if you find any thing else out let me know. Thanks.

I've been having similar symptoms;dizziness,pain under lower left rib and sometimes headaches. For the pass 4 months,my doctor prescribed me different medicines,but nothing's worked,im 14-15 and starting my gcse's soon,and I am always feeling dizzy,and cannot concentrate properly,so Pease if anyone has any type of cure,please help.

Im 26 and for the past 2 1/2 years ive had constant pain in my upper and lower abdomen. ive been to every doctor and hospital around me and had every blood test, leels tests, ct scans, xrays, endoscopy, and colonoscopy with no results. the pain is affecting my daily life and even starting to affect my marraige. all the pain started after my stag party. i somehow ended up blacking out. ever since that night ive had nothing but abdominal pain and issues that no doctor can find answers for. has anyone else have anything similar and had any results as to what their issue was??????

Knot right side by ribs and dizziness

Just because you pray does not mean you will be healed. God does have a plan for everyone's life and although he does not bring bad things upon us we do have an enemy. God will allow things to take place but all for his glory. God never said living here on earth was going to be easy and everyone was going to be well. Heaven is our home and our place for rest. The enemy is here to steal, kill, and destroy. Sickness is brought by the enemy not our loving God. It takes way more faith for you to believe God isn't real than us followers of God. I would rather live my life for God and then to find out he does not exist than to live in eternity with an enemy who just wants to destroy me. Your body did not just come from the earth by making a Big Bang. The earth and our bodies are so complex there is no possible way we just came out of nowhere. Non believers look at us christians like we are crazy for believing such nonsense but I have more proof that my God was the creator and Jesus did come to earth and die for me than there is evidence that the earth appeared out of nowhere. Watch the movie Case for Christ. It's based off a true story of a nonbeliever. Maybe that will change your mind. God loves you.
