Hi,I am Diwashish Biswas (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For last two weeks I've been getting SEVERE lightning bolt stabbing pain on right side a few inches under armpit! It can be any time, resting , working an d a few times felt like a shock and actually made me jump out of bed. It is very sharp and always in the exact same spot , directly across from right breast under armpit. i'm a 48 year old male. The pain sometimes lasts upwards of a minute then goes away fast and then stabs right back in a few minutes. I get episodes almost daily and going to sleep last night was difficult as it began just as i was falling asleep! Also I think I try rubbing the area , thinking it's muscle cramp/ ache, etc. but that never affects it, it feels like right inside of ribs! Help? Thanks!
