If I am looking down at my stomach, it is 5 or 6 inches up from my belly button and then over to the left. It is next to where my left rib cage comes down.
It hurts so bad and has since my Lyme symptoms first appeared. It comes and goes , but can be constant, like burning or pulsing. If I curl up in a ball it will kinda go away...
It happens sometimes when I am sitting and resting and then sometimes when I have been doing alot and am tired...at the end of the day.
Adrenal fatigue??? Spleen issue??? Liver??
I just have no idea...DOES ANYBODY HAVE THIS? Laura

Ooooh!!! That is EXACTLY what I have!
Under my left rib cage, and it comes and goes.
I have no idea what it is...hopefully someone will post soon and give us a better idea.

It's bound to be the spleen. Your liver is on the right and the adrenals are on your kidneys.
COULD be the pancreas, but that's more in the center if I'm not mistaken.

I've had that pain coming and going even before my diagnosis. My "duck" told me he thought it might be a hernia but since I had so much else going on with all these other crazy symptoms, we never followed up on it.
After all, this pain just kept coming and going. Still have it hitting now and then, but not nearly as often since treatment.
As far as what it REALLY is, I have no clue... but it's been doing it for many years. Just not sure a "duck" will be able to tell you what it is, but hey...if you ever do find out, let us all know.
Seems many of us with lyme are complaining of that spot off and on.

I would get an ultrasound of my abdomen if I were you...it could be anything.
