It hit me before i went to bed. It's also took turns between both my sides. The pain tends to stay longer and more often on my left side, though. At first it was just a bit sore on both sides, then just lingered on my left side. But after a while it went away, so i didn't think twice about it. Then it came back later on my right side slightly worse, but bearable enough to carry on like normal, yet faintly there on the other side. Today it's on my left side again the worse its been yet the last couple of days. It was in a small area between my hip and ribcage (both sides) at first, but on my left side the pain has expanded some. And moved up to the lower area of my ribcage. Stretching and \or laying down has helped reduce the pain. But it still comes back. I'm not sure what exactly whats wrong.other than what's going on. I don't know what to do either.

    Are your bowels working normally? It could be something with your bowel if there is a build-up. If it's not that, its hard to say as there are so many organs in there. If your bowels are sluggish, you may want to take fibre with lots of water and some type of probiotic to get things moving properly.

    In my experience, stomach related problems convert to :

    1. stomach pain obviously
    2. chest pain
    3. back pain ( left side, just behind the stomach )
    4. right side pain ( when the digested food is passing through the right side of body )

    These pains generally happen when the body starts the digestion process. That is, to notice that not just after eating but after 4-5 hours of eating. So when you have eaten food in afternoon, you will start feeling pain/loud-gurgling around 5-6'o clock. What you eat in the night may start showing up effect after 8-10 hours in the morning. It may be because sleep probably reduces the speed of digestion process. This is why the pain seems to go and comes in case of stomach problem and worsen in case of some special foods that create more issues when you are already suffering with stomach issues . Bread, milk and egg were in my case ( not now though ).

    Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Just used to experience all these during my 2 years of stomach problem. I had got hpyolri and now going good after it's medication.
