A member asked:

I have pain under the left rib cage when pressed. what does this sound like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
