What Causes Pain On Left Side Of The Back?
I have a dull pain on the left side of my back towards the lower part of my rib cage. Started all of a sudden and was a bit more painful the 1st day, but seems to be slowly getting better. Now it is a dull pain and not noticeable all the time. Nothing makes it worse...i.e. movement, taking a breath. What might this be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain you describe may have just been a mechanical pain. Since it has subsided without any drugs, you may just observe. However, if it recurs, you see the doctor for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
