so i keep getting a pain in my left side, by left side i mean actually in the side, about 3 ribs down from my armpit pretty much in line with my left nipple but around the side, my left side of back hurts at times (shoulder blade area) and sometimes across my whole upper back, i must add my chest gets abit of pain at times aswell and pressing on the left pectoral right next to my armpit is a little but tender, honestly i tried searching up poor posture pain locations and it just shows back and frontal pain , was wondering if anyone has had localised pain in the upper side below armpit from poor posture?

    Josh,do you have any problems with digestion? This could be gall bladder pain, or something in that area.If this is constant I think you should see your doctor for investigations.

    Alternatively, have you been doing anything strenuous lately? Carrying anything heavy, moving heavy furniture etc. What does your job entail? In that case it could be just the tiny muscles between your ribs that are strained. They will take a couple of weeks to recover. Have you tried taking an anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen?

    Hadn't considered it being gall bladder
