I have this sharp pain underneath my rib cage on my left side more torwards my back. it hurts to move my left arm. it also hurts to bend or twist.

See answer: Pain in this area is often due to a chest wall strain if muscular maneuvers cause or aggravate it. But this Q & A box is not meant for diagnosis. For a proper diagnosis see your physician or consider an online consultation at Health Tap.

Be seen: There are a lot of possibilities, consider being seen. An exam and appropriate tests can usually determine the cause. Among the possibilities can be a thoracic radiculopathy from the irritation of a nerve in your midback, pleurisy, and pancreatitis just to name a few. Dont let it go too long before getting checked. Thanks.
