What Causes Sharp Pain In The Back Upon Bending?
last night while lying in bed I rolled over and there was a sharp pain in my back that went from my bottom rib next to my spine and out towards my left side. it hurt so bad it took my breath away. but breathing doesn't hurt it. neither does coughing. it feels like a bruised or cracked rib. but there was no trauma and it only hurts when I lean forward to pick something up with my left hand or when lying down and try to roll over.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic
i think that you are confusing symptoms as the rib fracture occurs with trauma or violent cough and cough will cause pain .you are having problem in spine so go for xray lumbar spine ap and lateral view ...MRI lumbar spine will be a better option than xray .Get these done as soon as possible .
till the investigation you may take analgesic as tab aceclofenic plus chlorzoxone two times .
Avoid excessive bending of spine and lie on hard bed .
If you have any further query then you can come back to HealthcareMagic i will definitely help you and guide you appropriately
