I'm having sharp pains in my upper back, right behind my rib cage. it's worse in the morning and as i move around the pain slowly dulls. what's wrong?

Sleeping wrong?: It might be the way you sleep. It could be the mattress or the pillows. Are you a smoker? If you smoke, you might be coughing during the night, so you wake up with a bruised rib cage. These are all possible senarios you need to consider. If this problem persists, I advise you to go see a doctor.
