Sudden pain in area of right 7-9th rib after sleeping on hard surface on belly and swiftly elevating arm? now hurts bending, deep breathing. female 50

Musculoskeletal: Probably happened because you were sleeping on a hard surface and your ribs started to crush the nerve running beside them. Every time you breath or move it hurts because the nerve is irritated. Use heat then ice, antiinflammatories, and muscle relaxers.
