What Does Pain Around The Left Side Of The Rib Cage Indicate?

I started having pain around the left side of my ribs almost 2 weeks ago but the dull achy pain radiates across both sides of my ribs and also across the back side of my ribs. Swelling and tenderness on the left side and in the back on the left side. Soreness when I lay on my left side also. Sometimes feels like pressure and dull pain at the same time. Wondering if it s intercostal muscle strain ... hoping it s not enlarged spleen. Considering going to see a Dr Since it hasn t gotten better.
