Pain below the left ribs that worsens with stretching the hips or lower back is most commonly of musculoskeletal origin â such as intercostal muscle strain, rib cage muscle spasm, or referred pain from the lower spine. The fact that it also starts or worsens after using the washroom could suggest gas trapped in the left side of the colon (splenic flexure syndrome) as an additional factor. While these are the most likely causes, persistent sharp pain in this location should be properly evaluated to also rule out a kidney stone or other organ-related issue on the left side.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician for a clinical examination and an ultrasound abdomen. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Pain below left ribs that worsens with stretching hips/lower back is commonly muscle strain/costochondritis, but gas/constipation or stomach acidity can also cause it.
rest, avoid heavy lifting/stretching, warm compress, light food, plenty of water, avoid gas-forming foods. For pain medicine, take only after doctor advice.
Consult a physician if pain is constant/recurrent. Urgent if chest pain, breathlessness, sweating, fever, vomiting, blood in stool/urine, severe abdominal pain, or pain spreading to left arm/jaw.
