What Is The Reason For Pain Under Ribcage And Pelvic Area?

Pain under right ribcage
I have intermittent pain under my right ribcage. This pain is mainly dull but occasionally shoots sharp pains to my back and down to my pelvic area. I had an vaginal ultrasound performed and the doc said all they found was a fibroid. The doc suggested that it may be gas, but I've taken gas meds and this pain still keeps me awake many nights or in day I can barely sit still...what could this be and what should be my next step?

Fibroid uterus will not cause pain on right rib cage.
The pain may be due to gastritis.
Just get an ultrasound whole abdomen done to rule out any abdominal pathology.
For gastritis, you can take Tab Pan 40 twice daily and syrup Gelusil 1 tsf three times a day for 5 to 7 days. I hope this will relieve your symptoms.
