Intermittent Dull Sanpaper Like Pain All The Way On Left Side (not Abdomen)

[mbj2217]

Alright, I am going to do my best to explain what this is. It is a very mild dull pain that I get all the way to my left side (not really abdominal). If you follow your very bottom rib (which is actually cartilidge and not bone) all the way to the left side of your body, the pain is like a small piece of sandpaper was implated in there under the end of that rib. I don't have any bumbs lumps or anything abnormal. It's weird....not a heavy pain or anything......just more of a nuscence. Comes and goes. I have been gluten-free for 9 mos. My IGA levels are all the way down to <5 from approx 200 back in December. Anyone get this weird sensation?

Hello mbj,

I'm no doctor, but I can go on experience. Sounds like shingles to me. How long have you had this "feeling?" There are cases where shingles begin on the inside (for lack of a better term) and the bumps/blisters don't come until later.

From what you have explained sounds like how I felt when I had shingles. I had the bumps/blisters first but I have a friend that had bumps/blisters last. It can come in different places up and down the spine. If you see bumps soon, consider that.

You might look into kidney stones also.

I have had that some times, not so much so more. Talk to your GI specialist, for me it was because my stomach was swelling from irritation and was pushing against my ribs. It was excess acid because I don't eat grain. It may just be that simple. It was for me, thankfully.
