I've been having this pain directly below my rib cage. It switches from left to right occasionally. Its not all the time but has been happening, to my memory's knowledge, over the past month possibly longer. I'm 100+ lbs overweight and it almost feels like my ribs are cutting into the fat in my hips, or muscles.

I say that being that it is a stabbing sensation. Like they are stabbing into the space below the ribs. Is that even possible?? Its sort of worrying me because it hurts no matter what position I'm in.

Standing, sitting, laying on my stomach, laying on my back, and laying on my side all hurt.

I can't just go to the doctor because we are on a tight budget. So unless its something really serious I won't be able to see a doctor.
