What Causes Severe Pain Under The Ribs?
Hello my fiancee has been having moderate to severe pain on the left side of her torso under the ribs. This is accompanied by a migraine that seems to come and go. we are close to going to the emergency room but are trying other options first in hopes that we can dodge more medical bills. Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.
