ve had various symptoms, including upper back, rib cage area pain, often like spasms, that stops me in my tracks, and I have had to stop many of my daily activities.

I have a lingering pain (about 3 weeks now) in my back. It's on the right side, just below my rib cage and even around on the right side of my rib cage.

Also, I have a very bloated feeling in my upper abdomen and even kind of up under my right ribcage.

Might be good to post this in neurology, as well.
