have gotten feeling like hard rock L side

karmaa55

Sometimes, when lying down feels like I am lying on a hard rock inside. I have a lot of sore rib pains and pain around the stomach, breastbone and on chest as well but this hard rock pain is strange and does not always happen.

I thought maybe it was my spleen?

Anyone else have this happen?

Are you taking any preventative medicine for you gallbladder? Many lose there gallbladder with treatment (depending on what meds your on). Given the symptoms - especially pain under breastbone, it just raised a red flag. You may want to contact your physician for an ultrasound.

Hang in there,

Hugs, Mickie

karmaa55	I had my gallbladder removed after bad gallstones several years ago - before symptoms started. I am waiting for Lyme testing to come in - one test at local lab showed 58 41 36 62 - but not 5 bands so another LLMD dr took more blood for more testing to send to a better lab so I am not yet diagnosed with Lyme or anything yet. So also not on any antibiotics or meds yet - thanks

karmaa55	Oh and this hard rock like laying on a huge rock feeling is on my left side - also occasionally sore ribs all around and pain around stomach and under breastbone. With my gallstones the pain was in the mid right stomach into the back - what awful pain those things can cause. This was on the left like right under the rib cage on my side

grindstone Posts: 33 Member	i get the same thing but normally when sitting in car. I sent a question out last week and received many responses, try to search for pain in left rib. My responses were basically that lyme effects nerves and muscles and that could be it.

I get this too - in different areas...sometimes leaving me tossing and turning because it is like a rock that stays on my bed and I for some reason keep laying on it...its very frustrating...
