A member asked:

Pressure feeling on left side below rib when sitting. what may be the cause of this?no pain just pressure feeling

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your spleen: Sits prominently on that side of the ribs. You could have an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) from different causes such as tumor and trauma. It could be an external mass like a skin benign tumor or bone cyst pressuring the tissue underneath. It could be left sided colon having same issues as the spleen above.
