Q: Spasms In Left Side

since yesterday i keep getting these weird spasms (only word i can come up with to describe them) on my left side and it feels like it's coming from around my rib cage but it's not actually the rib cage that's doing that. anyone know what that is? it doesn't hurt it's just annoying and i'm worried something's wrong; what organs are around that area? thanks

Well your organs don't have nerves, but on the right side of your body under the ribs is some intestine, your liver, and your right lung.

More likely, it is muscle laid on top of the ribs that is spasming.
