Dull ache on Left Side of Stomach/Rib Area

Phone the doctor, and make sure it isn’t a heart issue.

I agree. You need it checked out.

You could ring 111 if you are still worried and unable to get an appointment with the GP.

Liver ?

Gall Bladder ?

You need to talk to your GP. My mom had pain in her ribs when she was in her 50s after tests she was diagnosed with osteoporosis. But it can be anything. Phone as soon as your surgery opens in the morning and you should be able to talk to your GP. If it gets worse during the night go to A&E. Better safe than sorry.

Either GP or 111 if it gets worse, marvellous though we are here, we’re not medics, get a professional opinion and good luck.

Left side could be the pancreas or just the muscles between the ribs. But you need to speak to your GP, even if it’s just a phone consultation.

Thanks for your replies. I managed to get an appointment this afternoon and spoke to a nurse this morning who said to bring a urine sample in and she will check my tummy for me. So will see what they say later

Liver and Gall Bladder are under the ribs on the right....

Been to see the nurse and she tested my urine and said it had a small amount of blood and showing slight infection, she is sending it to the lab. Not been given any antibiotics yet she said to see what comes back from lab. Also she checked my stomach and rib area and asked me lots of questions and could not find anything worrying but said given it another week and see how the pain is or if it gets worse to call them. She also said it could be a side effect from the vaccine. At least it has put my mind at rest as I was getting very anxious.
Thanks for listening

That sounds like a useful visit to the nurse. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Pink you should have been given antibiotics there and then as it's sounds as you don't just have a UTI but a kidney infection. I have been suffering recurring UTIs and kidney infections since September. Been referred to urologist but got to wait for phone consultation and then hopefully tests to fine out why. Started another kidney infection Monday on antibiotics for a week only 2 weeks since my last one.

Check back with your surgery about results. If you are still in pain you need help don't be fobbed off.

I also think you should nag your surgery for the results, PinkSweetPea. I'm surprised you weren't prescribed antibiotics straight away.

With a bank holiday coming up you don't want your symptoms to worsen and have to rely on 111.

I don't want to be alarmist but a wait and see approach can waste valuable time. Blood in urine should not be taken lightly.
