What is the pain above the left rib cage on pressure?

If there is pain on pressure above the ribs on the right side, one needs to be alert to the possibility of a localized bone, muscle, or fascia disorder causing the pain. Usually, if the condition is visceral neuralgia, angina pectoris, or stomach pain, there is no localized pressure pain. If the patient has significant localized pressure pain, it should be considered to be caused by diseases of the bones, such as costochondritis and intercostal neuralgia, muscles, such as muscle injury strain, fascia, such as fasciitis, and skin, such as herpes zoster. In addition to nerve pain and hypersensitivity, the above diseases can cause significant pressure pain in local locations.
