Advice please

Last Sunday I woke with a tender to touch area just under my rib on the left which goes to my side,it feels like the skin only is tender as I can push on the area with no pain butparacetamol stops the pain!I’m a little more tired than usual,I had a dark poo on Wednesday too andmy appetite is still there !are these symptoms of cancers?

  • Hello Brivan63 and thanks for the post

    I'm afraid no one her can tell you what this pain might be the result of however most of the time symptoms settle within a few days and will be caused by something less serious than a cancer.

    If and when symptoms don't go away it is best to arrange an appointment with a GP. They are in the best position to assess you and if needed they can also arrange more tests to find out more.

    Take care
