Lifted furniture recently. right back, 4" above waist. radiates on rt side to 3" above naval, slightly short of being above naval. muscles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Intercostal nerve: If the pain radiates around the body, very likely you have an irritated intercostal nerve secondary to the injury. Muscular problems tend to be less likely to follow nerve distribution pain.
