Pain on left side under ribs?

For the last 2 days Ive had this weird pain in my left side like someone is poking me right under my ribcage...It may be kinda under my ribcage since i cant seem to really "touch" the area (if that makes since)
Anyone know what this could be?
*im not pregnant :)

    That's where the colon runs. You likely have gas. Been there done that many times, even took my dd to the ER for that pain and they did an x-ray just to find out it was a big gas bubble that wasn't passing.

    Go to your doctor - women get pains in different areas than men for heartattacks and any pain like that you should have checked out as soon as you can.

    When there is pain "do not dismiss it" and do not let your Physician dismiss it and send you home with the "Take 2 pills". If he does not give you an answer he needs to order a CT scan of that side and see what it is. Please post so the concerned Moms can find out what your outcome was. Blessings and I hope you feel better.

    Well the pain lasted about 3 days & went away.. never went to dr. i think it was either a muscle issue or digestive issue, kinda like what above person mentioned..
    thanks ladies!
