Answer 1

Abdominal pain -- a dull ache, a burning sensation, or a sharp, stabbing pain -- is one of the most common complaints in all of medicine. Most people can blame abdominal pain on their stomachs, but the stomach is just one potential trouble spot. Any organ in your midsection can cause pain, including your appendix, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and intestines

Even when it doesn't signal an emergency, abdominal pain definitely sends a message. It could be telling you to make a change in your lifestyle or to schedule an appointment with your doctor. Either way, it could be a blessing in disguise

Answer 5

Here's a simple probable cause...gas. There isn't really any organs on the left other than bowel and the left kidney. Does repositioning help? Is urination painful? Try lying on your back and rolling side to side. If it relieves it's gas.

Answer 6

Your female organs are lower than your rib cage. So I think you mabye mean your kidney I do not know if you mean the lower part of your ribs.

Answer 7

actually, the rib houses our lung and some parts of our liver on the most inferior part. Is the pain so sharp? Maybe you have costochondritis.
