It is difficult to diagnose over the internet. Physicians usually rely on a history and physical exam which I can't do in this format. There are many things it could be (a hernia comes to mind first) but you need to see your doctor. I know that sounds trite, but it's the best advice I can give.

>Hi, It is me Linda Garcia again. I was just wondering if you could help me. For the last couple weeks I have been having pain in the left side aroundthe ribs. If you push you can feel a "bulge". The pain would come and go. Yesterday and today though is different. I can feel it "moving around" when I sit up, or sit down stand up. You know. Any suggestions. I still have my appendix and gallbladder too.
