This usually happens when I'm lying down. It doesn't hurt that much but it's quite uncomfortable. Any idea what it might be?
 
From the little bit of research I did there are many possibilities. It is not really pain though, but more of a discomfort.
 
I_Money, I will take your $20:laff:

It is most likely the ends of the cartilage at the rib ends being pushed together. Common problem but I can't be sure without an exam.

Well I am still up $20 from my last bet. I thought a significant number of people had that, so most unaccounted for pain in the left ab was presumed to be it.

Maybe I should go to online medical school before I make online diagnosis!

I think that I get the samething from time to time. I get it when I stand too long mostly. Webmd says it is flank pain, laying down seems to help actually!
 
I swore someone said "hypochondriaccentral.com"... but I think you just said WebMD.com... sorry! It's my hearing! I've got turboprop ear!

Hey,hey...this was back when I had a kidney infection and thought I had gout.

I know not to self-diagnose. After all when I had a bad case of the flu webmd said I had HIV!

I was simply saying what webmd stated it could be, flank pain!

But, I will admit that I can be somewhat of a rather huge hypochondriac!

Okay just a word of advice:

Guys and gals, Dr. Forred is a wonderful doctor and aviation examiner. He helps us all the time and his help is invaluable, HOWEVER, please if you have a medical emergency see a doctor or call 9/11. I was chatting with my friend that one theres going to be a post about "i stabbed my stomach and am bleeding" because someone forgot got at just that, that this doctor is far away and cant actually help in a medical emergency.

Just a heads up! Anything crazy happens, call 911 - not JetCareers.com

Usually jetcareers is a fix to your problems..but it wont work as a 911 emergency situation.
