I m female with type one diabetes and pcos, (if that means anything) I ve also been having sharp pains every now and then on my left side around my lower rib area, could all these be connected, do I need to visit doctor?

Hello,
The tickling sensation near the rib is likely to be a nerve related issue or a vitamin B 12 deficiency. Taking methylcobalamin supplements can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
