Have Pain Under The Rib Cage. Did Catscan, Ultrasound. Told WBC Was High. On Percocet. Cure For Treatment?

Hi. Last Saturday nite while I was sleeping I awoke with pain in my back left side right underneath my rib cage, the pain lasted all day when I would move to fast it would get worse. The pain was dull on Monday but came back strong on Tuesday. It's almost like a muscle spasm kinda pain. I went to Lincare who sent me to the e.r. There they gave me a catscan,ultrasound, blood test,urine test. At first they thought it might be my left ovary but my left ovary did not show up in the x-ray. I was told white blood count was up. And that it looked like I needed to go number 2 which I have been doing. Only now it's just water. I should note that I have been taking Terbinfine for toenail fungas for a month. I am still in pain and I think I am bloated through my entire body,my wedding ring is very hard to get off and my work pants barely button. I was sent home with Percocet and told see my familly doctor witch have not returned my phone call. Please help!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain under the rib cage could be due to a chest infection causing pleurisy or an inflammation of costochondral joints. This needs pain killers and anti inflammatory medicines with steam inhalation for relief.
