Upper abdomen, Lower rib cage movement

[fourfrenchs]

I am not pregnant, but am feeling movement in my lower right rib cage, or upper abdomen. It is the same feeling I had when pregnant, like there is foot or hand of the baby moving in that area. I have had it for a few days now, and am wondering what it could possibly be. Thanks!

Has anyone heard of slipping rib syndrome? I feel like a baby is kicking me under my bottom right ribs, but I'm not pregnant. This syndrome seems to fit the bill for my symptoms - but it is not painful in my case, just a weird sensation.

Omg I have the same exact thing! I have been to the hospital 5 times in the past 2 weeks and no dr. are listening to me. I went for  multiple  CT scans, MRI and they found nothing, all blood work came back normal, what could it be? I’m becoming very concerned and dr. just seem to think I’m crazy! They wanted to prescribe antidepressants and Xanax. Help! I need answers...

I have had this feeling for past 3 years! Twice, the (2)doctor saw nothing. I just had an x-ray,  and my doctor said she saw a fairly large gas bubble! The movement varies from upper right quadrant to lower left, so she said it is possible that it moves around depending on what I'm doing or ate.  I'm told it will eventually go away.

I notice this after eatting fatty food i have had gall bladder out  stones that were in the gall bladder can also be in the liver small ones and when you eat or drink booze they get churned up stuff like icecream sugar bread processed food etc cheese or alcohol will do it. Its the liver trying to deal with it. Remedy is to follow a vegan diet and avoid alcohol cleanse the liver for 3 months.. see if you feel better - let me know. Always check with your dr don't sit on the baby ha ha!

I have been having this for about two days. I am thinking it may be due to muscle strain from work and sitting over a computer too long. I have scheduled a discount massage in hopes it helps. If this continues I will see a health care professional. I wish previous responders would update on status.

So I had the massage and had her focus on my back and neck only. I had the odd feeling for one more day and it has yet to return. I would like to note that I passed an impressive amount of gas overall. Perhaps it is a muscular and gas issue like air getting trapped because of muscle tightness. Good luck to you all I hope this helps.

I have this also! There is no pain but lots of movement like a babies foot in my upper abdomen and at my ribs on the right side. I am 59 and have no uterus and no gallbladder. My PA said it may be a hernia but did not suggest any tests.
