He was thoroughly checked over for the pain that he had had in his left side the other day, and everything seems to be ok. Our doc didn't order any tests though since it was too far past when the pains hit for anything to be effective in finding the cause. The doc thinks that the muscles under the ribs knotted up tightly and that is what caused so much pain and sweating for hubby. So the orders are for him to go to the emergency room if it happens again and to make sure that they do whatever tests necessary to pinpoint the problem. I'm just glad that he's ok. Thank you everyone for being here for me yet again. Hugs to all.........Carryl

I glad that he is feeling better. I cannot understand why tests were not ordered for the pain that he had. Especially for the pinpoint area that he was able to tell them that it was. Isn't the speen there? I hope that this was just gas and nothing is seriously wrong with him.
(((hugs)))

Sweetie I do not know how missed the Discussion I know I am having a break from here but I am replying to Discussions which need thoughts and I will check it out
I am sorry I was not here for you
I know my mind is all over the Place right now but that is no excuse
I am glad he is ok for now but I do agree that if it happens again he needs to take action straight away
I made the Mistake again of leaving it for Months before I went and that is only because I was rushed to Hospital and now they are still trying to find out what is causing it
Love and Hugs to you and I am sorry

Hi Katlady, 
Thanks for letting us know how he's doing. That's good news, as far as what the doctor thinks it is, and hopefully it won't happen again. I get muscle spasms in the same area on both sides, and have for years. I've had this checked out, and was told that I have some condition with a very long name, ending in 'tse tse.' I've never heard tell of such a thing, and just the name makes me smile, as I think of a 'tse tse fly.' 
Anyway, the pain is sure nothing to laugh at, and comes in irregular intervals, and not every day. Apparently, mine is a result of my carrying my daughter so high, when I was pregnant, and some damage done to my rib cartilage.

I'm thankful it's not constant, or everyday too, but there are days when once it starts, it just doesn't let up. I try to be careful, but can never predict when it will hit. A simple thing like bending to get something off the lower shelf of the fridge, can trigger it off. I've had it for over seventeen years, which is hard to believe. Many people I know, have no idea about this. I figure if I tell too many, they'll really think I'm falling apart, because of my other health concerns as well. Thanks for caring, and I hope your hubby doesn't have anymore episodes. Big hugs to you too.

Glad to hear hubby is doing ok but wish they could of found out what cause his intense pain. Hopefully, he will take the dr.'s advice and head to the ER next time it happens so they can figure out why.
