Hello, i have a discomfort mostly under my left rib when i sit for an extended time. its not painful but it felt like a pinching (burn).

Varies: There are multiple possibilities as there are many structures in that area including the rib itself, the intercostal nerve underneath the rib, the muscles that insert on the rib; and structures deep to that area such as the lower lung, the pancreas, stomach and intestine. Don’t hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis.
