Look for a cause: Start with simple pain killers and mild exercises and observe the progress of the condition If symptoms are not improving with the above, and if it is persisting for weeks, I would suggest to get it checked out to make sure that there is nothing sinister going on.

Can't diagnose: however, any pain that moves from side to side is usually related to the passage of something, for example gas, that could be in your transverse colon just beneath the rib margin. I can't think of anything at all that is dangerous and moves from side to side. It will probably pass on and you'll never really know.
