Sharp Linear Pain In The Upper Abdomen Just Underneath The Ribs?

Hi, I have a very sharp linear pain in my upper abdomen when I bend forward. It feels mechanical, as though something is being trapped. I don't think it's to do with my digestion as it feels as though it's not very far into the abdomen. It is right underneath my ribs.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having costo-chondritis.
There might be having some enlargement or infection in liver or spleen.
Go for ultrasound to rule out any problem in liver or spleen.
Ok and take care.
