My left rib cage has a moving mass that hurts like a muscle. What is it?

It moved like a muscle and/or intestine. I have strained it which has caused pain like a muscle but also moves in reaction to being gassy like an intestine. It is not a hernia though. Anyone know what this is and what I can do to ease the pain and strain?
