What Causes Pain Under The Left Rib Cage?

I have had a pain under my left rib cage for three days now. It started a couple of days prior and just got worse. Depending on how I move the pain is more acute, and laying down makes it worse. I do have diverticulitis, and have been experiencing a lot of gas lately.

In my opinion you have splenomegaly
i recommend CBC test to check your lymphocytes count
Also another possibility in cracked rib
so i suggest having a chest x ray as well

Good Luck
