A member asked:

Pain, left side, rib area in the backside, few inches below armpit. feel like its between bone &skin.not internally.front left chest pain w/it.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follows a rib: That's a pretty good description! it's following an intercostal muscle or rib. You may have costochonditis (rheumatism of the joint where the rib attaches to the breatbone). You may have intercostal neuritis. If a rash appears, it could even be shingles. Has there been any minor trauma or lifting?
