What Can Cause Pain From The Left Side Of The Back To The Rib Cage?
The past 4 days I ve had pain coming from my left back, side, radiating from under my left ribs. And the ribs feel bruised to the touch.I ve been air traveling & sleeping in different beds, my mattress at home is worn, I flipped about a week ago.It hurts most when sitting or laying down.Are there any organs I should be concerned about?I took some oregano oil & Alpa-E Spleen before sleep last night. With rest, I feel better, but still constant pain at a 6-7 out of 10.
