What Causes Pain Below The Left Breast?
I have pain on the left side below my breast. At first I thought that it was a pinched nerve from my back or an injured rib as he pain was more in the back. Now it is more in the front under the rib cage. I have had this for over a week and it is getting worse.

If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
