Some dangerous cause: t he most usual reason would be that the small (intercostal) muscles between ribs are inflamed. But inflammation of any of the tissues affected by breathing, including the lining (pleura) around the lungs or the lung tissue itself might be involved. Better consult your Primary Care Practitioner who may refer for imaging studies.

Low back pain: one reason would be bulging disc, however lots of possibilities.
