Sharp pain under my ribs. What is it?!


Question: Sharp pain under my ribs!. What is it!?
For the past 6 years I've been having a sharp pain directly under my ribcage on either my right or left side!. It comes and goes, but it hurts enough to make it noticable!.

It makes me unable to stretch out or take a deep breath, but eventually I'll have to suck it up take a deep breath, or stand up/lay down and stretch out, but it hurts so bad!!!! Usually after doing this it will go away!.

I've never been in an accident, had surgery, or been pregnant, so everything should be where it's supposed to be and in tact!. I once asked my doctor about it and she just said it must be my "floating rib" jabbing me in my stomach, and there's nothing I can do about it!.

Does anyone else have pains like this!? Did you ever figure out what it is!? What do you think it is!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
