What Could Cause Pain Behind Lower Ribs?
I have pain behind my lower ribs which is worse when I breathe deeply. When I lie on my left side, the pain comes in waves and is constant. It has happened in the past three days. Seems less acute now, but the pain when lying on the left side is pretty severe.
