Does anyone else have sudden pain in the side? Mine is weird to describe. It's almost feels like I am being punched. It's located on either side in the rib cage area next to my boobs. Sometimes it feels like a zap. It's brief, but comes and goes. Quite unpleasant. Sometimes I feel electric sensations moving all around underneath my boobs. But usually it's just on one side at a time. It's weird.

Yes! That is what it is like for me! Just so random. It will happen once then a few minutes later it might happen again. I find if I get over heated it also can make it flare. Sometimes I will be laying on my side in bed and all of a sudden it feels like I am being punched there and I flinch from the impact.
