I m a 30 y.o female. I have had left side (oblique area and slightly over to the right in between my rib cage and hip bone) tenderness. I am also occasionally experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in the same area when I m almost done urinating. Any ideas?
Hi, Thanks for your query. The pain at the bottom center of the rib cage on the left side could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely. The other causes that need to be ruled out include lung infections like pleuritic. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
