Pain under right lower rib

[toomanycuddlytoys]

I keep getting a stabbings pain under my right lower rib. Only when bending forwards. It literally feels like my rib bone is sticking into my abdomen

I get this, but only when I do something to do with my feet - painting my toenails, tying laces etc. It feels like something is popping out. My DP says it’s a hernia, but I am too scared to go to the doctor. (Have had it on and off for about five years.)

Referred pain from Hiatus hernia maybe?

It only happens when bending. Could it literally be lower rib sticking into fat?
