What Causes Pain Below The Armpit?
I have a localized pain on my upper left side, outside the ribs about 5 below my armpit. It has been there for 3-4 weeks, not lessening in pain. It does not seem to be muscle-related, nor does my side show a bruise; although it feels very bruised. Tight clothing and laying on my left side hurts. Thoughts?

Hi,
It might be a pleural pain. A clinical examination would be required. Get done an X-ray chest PA view since it is for 3-4 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
