What Does Pain In The Rib Cage On The Left Side Indicate?
I have pain in my rib area on the left side. I also have pain in my back on the left side. I visited someone in the hospital this week with pneumonia. Other than a chronic cough (been dealing with it since December and have seen allergist and pulmonology- now being treated as if it is reflux) I no respiratory symptoms. I rode my bicycle a lot this weekend, but I don t have soreness anywhere else. I m also unusually fatigued today. Any reason to be concerned?

It might be that just a muscle pain which can be dealt with a analgesic both topical and oral.more over we should be also careful to rule out any undermining cardiac cause(heart related) behind it by doing an ecg and a general physician consultation.
for the respiratory part it seems all have been subsided,however chronic cough can also lead to muscle pain in chest.
plz dont worry and take good care of diet and rest.
hope this helps
