i don't have a gallbladder and this is becoming so tiresome.

it's a dull achey pain under my left rib which goes to my back. it never stops, ever. is always a 1-3. just a constant nonstop aching pain, some slight nausea.

eating seems to make it worse.

any ideas??

Randi,
left rib is not the gallbladder but the spleen, it hurts when there is too much to clean up. It will be better(some months)once you start treatment.

Interesting, under the left rib is where I have the most discomfort daily. [Frown] Must be spleen-related.

let me clarify this. i always get so confused.

if you look at me, it's my left side, but if i look down, it's my right side.

make any sense?

at night my back burns and i get pain all the way down into my leg.

i hate this.....
