Stomach ache/cramp?

At the start of the week i had stomach ache just under my ribs, which I thought was bloating coz of my period. Whilst I'm know longer bloated I still have a mild ache/cramp under my ribs, and I've woken in the night a couple of times with a sharper pain and feeling sick, especially when lying on my side - anyone got any ideas to what it might be?

Aww, that doesn't sound comfortable :frown:

*hugs*

I'm afraid I don't know what it could be. Have you been doing lots of exercise recently?

If it lasts over the weekend, I'd book in to see a doctor on Monday or Tuesday.

In the meantime, hot water bottle and painkillers?

Hope you feel better soon,

Have you eaten anything that might have upset your stomach? I get kinda like that when I have dairy :frown:

Does it get worse if you've eaten anything fatty? A few years back I used to get achy crampy pain which sort of started under my ribs and radiated through to the tip of my shoulder blade. Lying down made it worse but I found it eased it if I sat up, and I'd often feel sick and kind of 'full' and bloated. Turns out I had trouble with my gallbladder and needed to change my diet slightly and take some medication.

I don't mean to worry you at all :smile:

but the best thing to do is go and see your doctor as soon as you can, particularly if the pain has lasted more than a few days. It's more than likely going to be nothing serious, but it's always worth going to get checked out.
