What Causes Stabbing Pain On The Left Side Of The Abdomen?
I have stomach pain left side of stomach near rib cage. It is intermittent stabbing pain that is severe. There are three or four stabbing pains and then quiet for five or ten minutes. At times when I touch or press that area the stabbing pain returns.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You are talking about the stabbing pain.
The character of the pain you described can be due to:
Stone in the pelvi-ureteric junction in kidney or
Obstruction in the colon in this area.
This can be confirmed by ultrasonography and CT scan.
If colonic pathology is suspected go for colonoscopy.
The treatment will depend upon the causative reason
