A member asked:
Sharp pain that stays in my middle rib cage on the left side, what can be causing this and how can this be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitor: This can be rib joint irritation, muscle spasm, fluid in lung, esophageal pain, stomach pain, and also includes heart problems. I would consider rest, heat, anti inflammatories, and monitor. If symptoms don't improve in 1-2 weeks, see your pcp for eval.
