Quick, Sharp Left Upper Adominal Pains Under Ribcage

Posted , 2 users are following.

Occasionally, like 1-3 times a week, I'll get a sudden sharp pain under my left rib (more toward back and flank) that comes and goes within 5-10 seconds. It seems to get better when I can take a deep breath in and expand my chest...but it hurts like a mother until then! It's almost like a cramp of sorts...but sharp. Anyone have this with IBS? Trying to figure out if its IBS or GERD related.
