How To Treat Muscle Cramps On The Left Side Of The Rib Area?
I WAS SITTING ON A OTTOMAN PUTTING ON MY SLIPPERS AND MY THE SLIPPER FOLDED OVER, SO AS I PUSHED WITH MY FOOT AND PULLED WITH MY ARMS I GOT A BAD CRAMP IN MY LOWER CHEST. ON MY FIRST RIB ON THE LEFT SIDE, I HAD TO LAY ON MY BACK FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO TO RELIEVE IT. TODAY MY RIB STILL FEELS TENDER. IS IT COMMON TO GET A CRAMP THERE?

I read your question and understood your concern
I think this is not a serious problem. it is somehow nornal tonhave muscle contracture.
You may need muscle relaxant medication localy and by mouth and stretching exercises.
It will take few weeks for you get back to normal
I wish you quick recovery
