Stomach Pain

[Kat]

I have been experience a minor pain on my left side under my rib cage. It has been coming and going for the past two months. I have been diagnosed with depression which causes me to worry exstensively. I have had other stomach problems in the past, but the docters couldn't find anything wrong. I also have a history of alcohol abuse (I know, not the smartest thing for a depressed person). I hate to keep going to the doctor everytime there is an ache or pain, I feel like I may over reacting. This pain does not feel like acid or gas. More like something is inflammed. I am concerned that I may have something seriously wrong with me, but don't know if I even have symptoms of anything. There is no fever, occasional loose bowels but not bad, no blood. I also have been going through a lot of life changes lately which have been very stressful. I am on no medication.
Questions, What coluld this pain be and at what point should I be seriously worried?

I dont know what it is but your not alone. I too have been feeling the same kind of pain that you talk about on the left side of my ribs. But I dont drink alchohol so it cant be about that. I went to my doctor and he too said nothing is wrong. I also do not feel fever. I think whatever it is .... Its nothing to be scared about. Maybe u should get an x ray. Im getting one just incase

I just wanted to let you know I really feel for all of you, I have had this pain in my middle upper stomach right under my ribs since my daughter was born 5 months ago on the 11th.  At first I thought it was heartburn and I was taking ovc meds for it, but nothing helped.  The drs. say its a hernia, I am not sure what it is, I only know that I am great pain every day and have been for 5 months.  I wake up feverish, and am doubled over in pain all the time.  I am only 27 and I don't understand why.  If anyone has any info that will link to my problem please feel free to email or IM me.  ***@****. Thank you
