Michelle,
So sorry to hear about the yucky pain. You asked about obstruction, but.... are you positive the bloating, etc, is related to the below-the-rib pain? Reason I ask, I've had a bad bout of costochondritis - terribly painful, in the ribcage area - it's basically an inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs (I think that's right). I thought I was having a heart attack, the pain was so severe. It actually hurt to breathe. The area was extremely sensitive to the touch and the pain lasted for a few weeks. Finally went away, but once in a while I have a tiny flare - usually brought on by some sort of physical activity like lifting something heavy. Just tossing this out as a thought ....
Blessings, Kaybee C
