A member asked:
Can a hernia cause pain underneath the left ribcage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: There is no known hernia that develops in this location other than if it is from a previous surgical incision, or a large hiatal hernia. Physical exam and upper GI contrast study can help make the diagnosis for those issues. See you doctor to find out. Hope this helps!
