i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. pain certainly is never fun! unfortunately it's impossible to say what's causing this pain. diagnosing this requires a physical examination and possibly other testing. several conditions could cause the pain you're describing including simple constipation. specifically if you're over age 50 and have ever smoked and if you would describe the pain as a "tearing" sensation i would not delay getting this checked out. there is a rare condition called abdominal aortic aneurysm that can cause the type of pain you're describing and this would require immediate attention from a medical professional. if you're under age 50 and this pain doesn't go away on its own within a few days you might make an appointment with your primary care provider to have it checked out. i hope you feel better soon. the pain has been on my left side just about 2 fingers under my rib cage. what is causing this pain. what is the answer to my question about pain front to back lower left quadrant of front
