Sorry it took me awhile to see this post. And I am very sorry you are having pain.  Did you do anything that could have injured the area? Does it hurt more when you take a deep breath? Are there any other symptoms that occur when you have this pain? Is it throbbing, stabbing, burning, can you describe the pain?

You may have pulled some muscles, you really don't have to do an obvious activity to pull a muscle. Sometimes just turning or bending will do it. Our ribs originate in the spine area and come around to the front of our body. So when you say  'left side of ribs" can you be more specific?

Humans have seven rows of true ribs, each with its own connection to the sternum. Humans also have three rows of false ribs which connect to the ones above it. The last two rows, which don't connect to the sternum, are called floating ribs. In the front, the upper 7 ribs are attached to the sternum by means of costal cartilage. Due to their elasticity they allow movement when inhaling and exhaling. The 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs join with the costal cartilages of the ribs above. The 11th and 12th ribs are known as floating ribs, as they do not have any anterior connection.

If you are having left sided chest pain than you need to see a physician ASAP. You could have a bronchitis or a pleurisy, a fracture or any number of things. Without having more deatils it is hard to suggest conditions. Please post again and explain a bit more what kind of pain you are having and where it is. I am sorry you are so uncomfortable. Others will post soon and offer suggestions. Hang in there and take care. I'll be looking for your next post. Take Care, Tuck
