Hernia under left ribs?
Hi,
I have upper left quadrant pain.
To be more specific, I've been having mild pain in one of my lower-most ribs on the left side for over a month now.
One rib feels especially sore to touch. Massaging that rib makes the pain go away. Sometimes the entire region feels sore to the touch. It is slightly painful to lie down on the left side.
Immediately below the left ribs, if you press the abdomen, you can feel something popping or crackling, and there is some movement inside (its not so if you press the corresponding right side of the abdomen). It's not painful if you press this area underneath the ribcage. But the rib itself is sore and slightly painful to press. Sometimes when I bend over I feel some movement in there, like some fiber is moving.
I had a doctor palpate my abdomen and she could not find anything. She thought it was a sore muscle or something. But I'm concerned about the movement beneath the left-side ribcage.
I was wondering if these are the signs of a hernia just underneath the ribcage, on the left side?

Wow! I thought I was crazy but it sounds like there are lots of us who have this 'rib cage hernia'. Mine is on the right side. I've had hernia repair surgery (stitched up, no mesh) but after one year I still have pain there as well. My question is this: 'Is there a procedure that anyone has had that has been successful in mending the hernia and has ended the pain?!'
2 months ago i was sitting and I accidently jerked my back, followed by immense pain in my lower left rib cage for about 10 excrutiating seconds.
After then it went away slowly but if I sit evenly for too long it hurts mildly and rises.
Doesnt hurt when I carry things or jog for long but when I eat and I jog for 10 mins I arrive at a sharp shooting pain somehow walking at a slow pace relieves that.
But when I sleep on my left side mild pain again so I can only sleep on my right, I also occasionally hear clicks when I sit up right or bend left or when I bend over.
I got informed its probably an inflammed spleen. Im almost positive thats what it is, they said when your spleen is inflammed it touchesyour ribs making that clicking sound.

Thank you for responding Doctor. I have had this for about 20 years my Dr's couldn't help. Mine pops out on my left side when I bend over and I have to lay flat on my back and just wait for it to go back in. It happened on my right side for the first time today. I have gotten x rays, ultra sounds and Cat scans. My dr. now wants me to go on anti depressants, I will but I was on them before & it still happened
