I get that and it turned out to be a stiffness/subluxation where one rib was attached to my spine. Sometimes it can crunch back into place naturally or with gentle stretching. Another time it needed to be adjusted by a physio. (Avoid chiropractors.)

I don’t think I’m hyper mobile; I’m pretty inflexible which I attribute that to lack of exercise lol I can still put my foot behind my head though so I got that going for me 😂
Though you are probably right with what the issue is. I’ll get my partner to give it a good massage when it isn’t 3am 😂

You can be hypermobile without being flexible, especially if you’re not able to safely stretch or exercise much. Your body can also defensively tighten your muscles to avoid hyperextension.
Heat helps the pain and helps things relax back into place if it is that
