I do this all the time. I finally discovered I was turning my upper body but not my lower. I think that is what may cause it.
It will hurt for about a week. It does go away after that. I don't know much you can do for it.
I have cut down on having it ( I think once you get it once it will do it again more easily), by turning my whole body instead of just the upper half.

You might have just slept on it wrong and it might wear off by the end of the day- i'm not sure when you wrote this. If it continues to hurt for a few days make an appt. with a doctor.

advicegodesses2 answered Sunday October 23 2005, 6:50 pm: What probably happened is that you slept on your rib cage wrong or your just sore. Just do stretches and twist around from your hip bone and tell me if it works. catch ya later. [ advicegodesses2's advice column | Ask advicegodesses2 A Question ]
MFS answered Sunday October 23 2005, 5:59 pm: When in doubt - see a doctor. If the pain is sharp and strong, you should definitely see a doctor - could be just a bruise, could be torn cartilege, could be a broken rib. Only by having it looked at will you be able to get an accurate diagnosis. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
