What Causes Pain In Left Side Rib Cage?

For the past month ive had discomfort on under the left side of my rib cage. Its tolerable for the most part...but occasionally its distracting. Most noticeable when I lean to the left side. it seems to radiate to my back almost like a pulled muscle. I ve tried stretching thinking it was muscular but its still there. My DR checked for Celiac, gall stones, and H-Pylori all negative. Thoughts?

if your internal organs are normal, then you need not worry probably it could be muscular inorigin, stop checking, don not perform positions that cause pain, take analgesics, and let it heal.
Allow nature to heal itself.
