What Does Pain On The Left Side Of The Rib Cage Indicate?
I have had pain on the left side, under the ribcage, to the hip bone area. It s tender to the touch. I ve had bowel movements the past 2 days, but wonder if I could have some type of constipation or blockage anyway? This pain hasn t prevented me from doing housework, shopping, etc.
