swollen rib, pains

Im 16 and my left rib is swollen, stomuch cramps, diarehaa, lower back pain, headaches..not sure what to do..I went to the doctor and he said that it was all in my head and I need to check into phsycologists? ..can they do that without seeing whats wrong with me? and I still don't know whats wrong.


This discussion is related to pain in left side under rib cage.

Have you visited a gastroenterologist? Have you had an ultrasound or a hida scan? If it is your family doctor, I would encourage you to get a second opinion. Keep going to the doctor  -- or better yet -- find a new one.

No I havent, but I dont drive and noone ever seems to want to take me..My dad believes the doctor..I guess i'll have to talk to a few more people about a ride. Thanks
