You : You may be straining your back muscles or facet joints.  I would recommend alternating with your right side and sleeping on your back.

Question 9

my back/rib cage hurts left side. yesterday it felt like a charlie horse now it's very sore n tender w every move . no injuries what is causing this?

Accepted Answer

muscle spasms: The most common reason for this complaint is muscle spasms of the intercostal muscles between the ribs, which is most frequently due to nerve irritation.  This is best treated with anti-inflammatories such as Naproxen to decrease the inflammation of both the nerve and the muscle.

Question 10

Rib thumping : Your description is interesting to read but vague. More details are needed. I wish I could address this better but I think it is best you see a doctor in person.
