On your left side, below your ribcage, is your splenic flexure of the colon as well as your descending colon. What you are feeling may be colon spasms. Read about "spastic colon" at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/spastic-colon/AN00498.
Spastic colon is also known as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Read about this at
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/irritable-bowel-syndrome/DS00106. See if any of this sounds familiar!
You don't mention your age, your general health, any medical problems, or any medications that you may be on. If this pain has been happening for more than a week, you may want to be evaluated by a physician.

You might have bruised your rib cage, that is very painful and all you can do is where a brace, or tape yourself up for a little support and time will heal it....goodl uck

probability is which you coughed so challenging which you bruised your decrease rib. I heard that it relatively isn't uncommon. it may heal with the help of itself yet i could touch a doctor in basic terms to be on the risk-free section.

You could have pulled a muscle or even cracked or bruised a rib

Could be something minor like a pulled muscle or a bit of pleurisy, or something more serious like gall stones. Better see your doc if it continues or gets worse.
