sometimes but not always, when I strain a bit to go to the bathroom or move in an odd way I get a pretty good pain in my side like near the rib, it usually goes away pretty fast but almost feel like a severe cramp or charlie horse and it is painful, been happening for years and usually on the left side
Hello, Some amount of cramps in left side of rib cage can be due to low salt and calcium in body. So I would suggest you to get serum B12 and vitamin D3 level in body checked. If there is low level than you need to take a little extra salt in diet. Also, you need to take tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobal daily. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. I would also recommend you to get ECG to make sure that everything is normal with your heart. Furthermore, I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
