What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain?
I have on three occasions when I had severe pain in my abdomen, like if you put your left hand right below the right side of your rib cage, it stretches that area and directly below my sternum. The first time, it passed quickly... 10-20 mins. The second and third time, it passed in about an hour. Your thoughts?
