A member asked:
What could cause the left side of my rib cage (lower part) to hurt very badly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A number of causes:: 1: from your spine; 2: from the ribs, underlying lung or the heart; 3: underlying abdominal structures, like spleen, colon, pancreas, or left kidney. See your PCP and have an examination and investigations to elucidate the cause of your problem. Good Luck.
