What Cause Pain At The Bottom Of My Ribs?
I am having a pain on my left side (at the bottom of my ribs). It is not constant and doesn't hurt when I'm sitting. It hurts when I walk (somewhat sharp). I also have the chills. I have lost 35 pounds in the past 2 months. Could this be related to the weight loss?

It could be related to weight loss. The area you are mentioning belongs to spleen & kidney. Any problem in these organs varying from
1. Infection & abcess
2. Tumour
3. Tuberculosis
4. Chronic malaria etc
may lead to symptoms like chills and loss of weight.
