Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The severe sharp and dull pain under the rib cage could be related to a muscle spasm or a soft tissue injury in the area. Since the cat scan did not reveal any internal organ abnormality, there is nothing to worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
