[|Human|] upper left quadrant abdominal pain.....right below the bottom rib.....very specific area every time ....... intermittently over past month.  No other symptoms........is intermittent but today is radiating into upper left back.    Otherwise healthy 50 yr old.  Exercise, eat right, no health problems.  Did have multiple rib fractures on left side 5 yrs ago due to horse accident.  No constipation, diarrhea, vomiting or fever.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. This looks like a positional anomaly. The upper backache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation). If the back pain is unbearable take medications/ painkillers or muscle relaxants prescribed by your physician. And if it has been long-standing illness visit your orthopaedician and clinically-radiologically establish a diagnosis to commence definitive treatment. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
