A member asked:

Dull pain in left side under breast x4.5 wks. feels like the pain is coming from ribs, breastbone, lungs, or upper abdomen. not bad, but annoying. dx?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possible: pains in this area are most commonly stomach/esophagus (GE jxn), musculoskeletal (rib/muscle/connective tissue strain) and less commonly heart or pericardium or lung or mesenteric. But for allopathic dx it takes about $1000 worth of tests as well as a skilled practitioner. Remember, the textbooks weren't written to serve women.
