Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Muscle?: Ribs are surrounded by connective tissue, blood vessels/nerves and muscle. The muscles may shift with positional changes and I suspect this is what you are noticing (one sliding under another perhaps). Nothing to be concerned about especially if no pain.
