I have pain in the left lower ribs since thanksgiving. also, when i press on the ribs under the arm area it hurts. what is this and steps to resolve?

Get an exam: The continued pain should be investigated. The beginning of any investigation will be a good exam (history ; physical) with tests guided by findings. This may just need an exam and a chest x-ray, but, the exam may indicate other appropriate tests. Please see a physician to help guide you.
