rib pain

When i awake in the morning or after sitting for like a half hour, i get extreme pain below my rib cage both sides a little lower than the ribs on the outer sides. I need advice on which could be causing this. It hurts so much just to get out of bed. Thank you .

Hell Tamlee and welcome to the CP forum at HW. The weekends can get kind of slow so you may see more responses today but I want to stop in and say HI and that many lumbar spine issues cause radiating pain into the rib areas. You really need to see a Dr and get some scans or xrays to check and make sure is isnt a rib issue or lung problem. Its not possible for us to tell you what could be wrong as it can be so many things and we are not Drs here only folks who suffer with chronic pain and wish to share or experiences.

If it bothers you to the point that your immobile then I would definately get someone to take a look even if it is the emergency room to start.

Sorry I know that isnt much help but really not enough information to go on and tell you more.
