good morning..i would like to chat with you about this problem i have..it started about 8-10yrs ago with severe cramping in my bodice around my ribcage..when i say severe, i mean SEVERE, has the ability to make me cry hard with the pain, i would be stretching with my hands up in the air trying to control the pain..this has been happening once a week twice a week, anytime, i could help it by laying down (i would lie on the ground if desperate) & doing some situps to take control of the muscles, over the years it has slowed & now i feel something happening on the right side of my body in the bodice, kinda stomach area, also a numbness that is there & swelling inside..the doctors tell me i am fine..i don t believe so..what is your opinion on this please??
Hi, In my opinion, you should definitely get done a chest x-ray and ultrasound examination of the abdomen to rule out internal lung and abdominal pathology.  If both these are normal then no need to worry much. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult a psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.  Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
