LUQ and rib cage: Unless you were born with situs inversus where your gall bladder and other organs are reversed, your discomfort may be due to problems with the spleen, base of left lung,gas entrapment in the left upper colon, cracked rib or pinched intercostal nerve which runs between two ribs in the lower left rib cage. Pinched nerve pain is sharp,shooting and worse with a deep breath. Your MD can examine you
