This sounds like an issue with the costovertebral or costotransverse joint (where the ribs articulate with the vertebrae). A visit to an osteopathic or chiropractic physician would be advisable to ensure that it is nothing more serious. If the problem is, as I presume, a costovertebral issue, you are a great candidate for spinal manipulation, and a single adjustment will likely resolve your pain. Traditionally, this kind of problem has been referred to as having a "rib out", but it is more likely a spasm of a levator costorum muscle or possible a more superficial muscle that interconnects the spine and ribs.
