hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you get pain when you bend over the left side than it is totally a muscle weakness and some tightness of the intercostal muscles.

performing regular stretches and breathing exercises should help relieve the symptoms. Also the inner garments shouldn't be wore tight as this may lead to muscle tightening lead to weakness.

Majority of cases in my clinic who has similar complaints are just a muscle weakness and tightness. with simple physical therapy they respond well.

Regards
