What Causes Pain In Stomach Below Belt Line Radiating To Ribs?

I have had a pain in my stomach area for about two weeks now, it is a dull pain and almost feels like a bruise feels. It started just below the belt line and has moved upward and to the left setteling under the lowest rib on the left. Again it felt like a bruised rib. This past week it has traveled up and to the right, just below the sternum. The pain from the lower origin is gone but the pain still exists from the sternum around the ribs to the spot just below the lowest rib. The pain is dull and is not debilitating. There are no marks or redness, no heat at the soreness site. Since it has parked just left of the sternum has me a bit concerned. Hope you can help. Thank you in advance. Dan.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Pain in sternum area may indiacate due to acid peptic disease. For better suggestion need a palpation of stomach and need a ultra sound scan of Whole abdomen.
Don't worry review with yourfamilyphysician
Thanks
