Posted on Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Question: I have pain under my left rib 2 weeks now was acute at first but seems to be improving I also have excessive sweating in my feet during normal activity. It was in the beginning so bad I could not sleep on my left side and it hurt to move In bed. Whole it is improving from a pain scale of 10 two weeks ago it is still a 4. It feels like someone stuck a tennis ball under my left rib cage. I am a caregiver and have to lift clients and transfer lots of dead weight which is painful.
