Pain in the rib area can be caused by an injury, a fall, or even poor posture. This can lead to irritation of the joints where they attach in the mid-back, or the muscles running between each rib. This can lead to pain in the mid-back or pain that wraps around the side. There are also a number of organs in the upper left part of your body, so it’s not that uncommon to feel pain under the left rib cage. It may be caused by an easily treatable condition. But you will need to see a doctor to know more.
To figure out what’s causing pain in this area, your doctor will give you a physical exam that includes feeling the affected area. This will help check for any signs of swelling or inflammation, and likely an x-ray or scan may be needed.
