A member asked:
My bottom left rib area hurts sometimes, could this be a sign of something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, See your GP.: This could be bruised skin, muscles or cartilage of the ribs, broken/bruised rib(s) themselves, or some abdominal organ, like splenic problem. See your doctor to get it diagnosed and treated properly.
