What Causes Intermittent Sharp Pain Under The Breast?
Intermittently I have a sharp pain under my left breast. The pain is continuous and sometimes lasts a few minutes, but other times lasts a few hours. I had an x-ray of that area and nothing of significance showed up. The x-ray show did not a prior break which I don t remember unless it was a cracked ribbed that may have occurred during a coughing attack (when I had a cold). I have an annual physical, mammogram and blood work and am healthy as far as I know.
