Has anyone here felt this before? I'm visiting the doctors next week.
For context I am very overweight.
A few weeks ago when lying on my side in bed I started to feel a tightness in my left ribs. When I moved it went off. This has gradually got worse and now the whole area feels inflamed inside ( nothing visible outside). When I'm sitting down it feels like there is something under the bottom of my rib cage that my ribs are digging into, causing an uncomfortable sensation. You can't feel anything when pressed but it is painful when pressed.
Now when I go to bed I have constant pain when I lie on both sides. If I lie on the affected ribs it's a pinching pain. If I lie on the other side the affected ribs feel stretched. It's also causing shooting pains across my belly just under the skin.
I feel well otherwise. Any ideas?
