What Causes The Sudden Onset Of Sharp Pain On The Left Side Under The Ribs?
Suddenly had sharp pains on my left side. It feels like it is under my ribs. Pains on and off around 6 times in approx. a minute or less. Then the pain felt like a wave as it went from the top to the bottom. I have never had this before. It finally stopped but after I got home from work it did the same thing two times only and stopped.
