Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 When I woke up on Sat. morning, I had intense pain on my left side - up under my lower left rib cage. At first I thought that it might be gas which has happened on occasion in the past, but has usually resolved within a few hours after passing the gas. This pain has persisted. At night, I cannot lay on my left side at all without extreme pain and cannot lay on my back without the pain starting within a few minutes - though not as intense as when I lay on my left side. I have not noticed that it intensifies after eating. It also hurts if, say, I am sitting on the couch and leaning on the armrest (left side) or if I slouch while sitting. Today it doesn't seem as bad, but it still hurts. I am wondering if this could be part of the healing process or if I might have something wrong with my pancreas? I know no one here can diagnos my problem, but if anyone has had a similar experience, it would help me to hear about it. TIA! - Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
