Discomfort In Kidney Area, Feels Like Swollen, Pain Under Both Ribs. What Could Be This?
Hi, I'm a 47 yr old female, experiencing discomfort on both sides, kidney area. All I can say is it feels like they are swollen. I ache in the front, right under both ribs, through to the back. No pain, just this chronic ache in this region. I don't have any insurance, so I've been putting off seeing a Doctor. This discomfort I've been expeciecing now on and off has been about a year in duration.
