Hi. on bed with one leg on there & leaned on stomach , while looking at phone . felt sharp pain in side of stomach under breast near rib. ideas ?

Strain: An acute strain appears to have occurred. Another possibility is an impingement of an intercostal nerve or muscle that runs between two ribs. Either event would be caused by the awkward positioning but shouldn't cause serious damage. If discomfort persists apply cold applications for 48 hours and then switch to moist heat intermittently as needed.
