Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough abdominal assessment is advised. As the pain is in the lower part of the ribs on the thorough abdominal assessment is advised. Also, performing a diagnostic ultrasonography of the abdomen should help to understand the systemic organs and other pathologies. The pain can not be because of pancreas as any pathology of pancreas will be detected by high sugar levels and abdominal scan. Just get an ultrasonography done and wait for the results. It could be even the muscular pain as well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
