Pain: It could be caused by several things, knowing details about your pain would also help getting to know what is causing it, but the most common causes would be gastritis, costochondritis, kidney stones or infection. Other causes include pancreatitis, ruptured spleen and splenic infarct, pleurisy and pericarditis.
