Pain, upper left abdomen

[doreen70 268]

A few days ago, I started with a vague burning sensation near the top of my rib cage on the left side. When I stand perfectly straight, and hold my stomach in it is most noticeable. When I press on it, it burns, like something pulling or tearing. When it's palpated deeply, no increase in pain. It doesn't feel like its deep. A doc that I work with felt around, and doesn't feel a hernia. I do not have trouble eating. No nausea or vomiting, I'm regular, ad my gallbladder removed 6 years ago. Anyone have a similar problem?

I called the office and have an appt with him Monday morning. Also talked to his stupid PA, that kept saying "um, yeah, that's strange". The doctor that I work with thinks its an adhesion because its triggered by movement.

HI am 13 days post op revision and woke up yesterday morning with a sharp pain under my left breast in my ribs. It hurts more when I take a deep breath. I am going to check with my Dr, in the morning. I am hoping it is just a muscle or something. Good luck.
