Have you got a cold? Pain and discomfort over the ribs, especially in the back is a sign of pleurisy - fluid on the lungs. I've had it 5 times and its very painful and it'll hurt when you take a breath in. If its not that then you'll pulled a muscle - try a back swing at the gym or lay flat on the floor with a small pillow or cushion in the small of your back - it'll stretch the spine and alleviate the pain a bit. Ask your doctor for some Ibruprofen - muscle relaxants, they will help.
Are you sure its not dehydration? I've had something similar when I haven't taken enough fluids. Just a thought.
