What is under the left rib cage to cause pain? Hello there,
I had a very bad pain in my left rib cage. it doesn't happen all the time, most of the time, it is touch sensitive. One is that the stomach? or liver? and ideas there. or if you have had this pain before. Thank you
Take your right hand and place it on the bottom
part of your rib cage on the right side.
In this area, is the right lobe of the liver,
area of the bile ducts and gallbladder.
Place your hand on to the center.
You will have your left lobe of the liver,
stomach and pancreas.
Take your left hand and place it on the bottom
part of your rib cage left: You have the spleen.
It is a kidney behind the liver on the
right side and one behind the kidney
spleen on the left side. Problem here would be felt more in the back area.
You could be checked to see if
kidney, spleen or a pulled muscle
field.
The reason I asked you to use your hands,
Indeed, doctors and nurses use the
"Patient" from the perspective of the list where a problem
is located in the body. If someone has been
standing in front of the patient and describe this by "seeing" the patient .. they state as the wrong side in their documentation.
Have you heard of patients having
surgery performed on the wrong side of the
body? Perhaps for this reason.
I hope this was of some use to you.
Well on the left side you have your heart, stomach and spleen. I want to know exactly where your pain was so I could be more useful. Oh, and your liver on the right.
