I have been in severe abdominal pain now for four hours. This is my second episode with this. I thought it was just severe gas and bloating at first, but have taken gas x and mylanta and tums. No relief. It seems to stem from left side under rib cage. Could this be an ulcer or something else. I keep praying for the pain to ease. Has anyone had this and what do I do or not do so this won't happen anymore. I plan to call dr in morning but was hoping for some advice tonight. Thanks

not 100% sure but it sounds like it could be a gall stone or kidney stone. But I would definitely see a doctor if pain meds are not working.

Are you able to keep things down? If not, perhaps your gallbladder.

Just wondering if you received a diagnosis... I'm in the same situation.

Do you still have your gallbladder? Sounds like gallbladder trouble.

Yes, had an ultrasound and found I have a very large kidney stone and a large polyp in my gall bladder. I see a specialist tomorrow and I am assuming removal of the gall bladder and some sort of procedure to remove the kidney stone. It has not been a fun month. Thanks for your concern.
