I have a sharp pain under my ribs on the left hand side (upper part of the stomach) as soon as I eat
I have been suffering from NERD for a long time. Basically my esophagus is open because the ring muscle does not close properly. This pain have been more pronounced for a few moths now. The gastroenterologist has no idea what it is. I am going to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy soon. I am a 55 year old female in good health otherwise. I am really scared because I never have had chronic stomach pain before.
I don't know what your pain is but I have been experiencing something similar. I too have acid reflux, also a hiatal hernia, and have had my gall bladder removed. A year ago, I had upper and lower GI scopes and dilation of my esophagus to help with difficulty swallowing. Last weekend I experienced a bad pain in my left side, almost like someone had punched me. Since then I have had one day where I couldn't keep food down, I visited my doctor who did xrays to see if my rib was broken, and results came back normal. I have had twice since then that I had sharp pain in my left side just below my ribs. I have also had back pain this week, with no reason to have any kind of injury. I am sure it is related to my other medical problems. So hopefully, someone can answer the question for both of us.

I have been experiencing the exact same thing recently. Pain under my ribs on the lower left side. About 6 months ago I had surgery for an abstruction in my small intentines. It seems like I am always having some sort of stomach problems and am very conerned. I'm to the point where I am afraid to eat. But at 5'4 and 118 pound I can't afford to lose weight. Does anyone have any suggestions?
