question: I m having pain in my middle left side back and upper left rib cage. It started several weeks ago with a vigorous walk with my dog and carrying a heavy bag. I have been unable to rest due to the fact that we are moving and I have been packing, lifting and such on and off for weeks. I had a deep tissue massage for the back pain and that is when the pain in my ribs started. The pain is really bad and the more I do the worse it gets and eases as I rest. Should I be concerned? Or am I over reacting?
