Dull pain lowest left rib for 1 yr. flares but improves. seems posture related. loads of tests all clear organs ruled out. at worst i also feel pain up in my left shoulder and neck. i do have left pars l2 defect. pcp not concerned, what else to try?

Left pars L2 defect should not cause symptom of the thorax. If you think your pain is postured related you should be evaluated by a physiotherapist.

Yes, such pain ends up being musculoskeletal and there is a chance that your pain is related to thoracic spine pathology. Further imaging may help in better explaining the pain, agree that physical therapy with lifestyle changes would be best at this point.
