Hi I m Stephanie, Now I been having weird movements on my left side under my rib cage. They feel like bubbles and a baby move. Now I do have a daughter who is 15 months. And I m positive I m not pregnant. It has been going on for 3 days now on and off. What could it be? Or should I go to my dr ASAP or ER?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

This issue may be related to possible nerve irritation or other neurology related to the lower thoracic rib cage.

If the pain intensity is around 3-4 on the scale, you can try for heating pad application with an analgesic.

If the substantial amount of discomfort with above 5 scales of pain, it is worth to visit ER otherwise not.

Mere sensation of weird movement is of no indication to rush to ER and spend dollars.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
