Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Th pain on the side of the back that aggravates with change in posture is likely to be a muscular pain. It can happen due to a muscle spasm or a jerk causing small tear.
It is best to do a hot compress in the area, apply a local analgesic gel and get an oral muscle relaxant prescribed from your physician for relief. Avoid all painful activities till then.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
