I woke up this am about 6am with a pain just under the left side of my rib cage as the day went on hr by hr I couldnt take deep breaths the pain hurt if I sneezed, coughed ect. I just had a pain that almost knocked me off my chair, the pain is GONE just a dull ache Do you think this could have been a kidney stone? I was ready to go to the er just before this happened
HelloThanks for query. Constant dull pain below the rib cage can be mostly due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter ND needs evaluation. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.
