    I've strained ligaments between ribs before, and it felt similar to shat you described. But then, it wasn't a mystery - I fell off a horse!

    does sound like it RR although it could also be a strained ligement or muscle from the way you're sleeping. Is breathing more difficult when lying down? Hope it gets sorted soon for you!
