Flank pain: You will need to see a doctor for examination but here is an article about possible causes to look at and discuss with your doctor: http://umm.edu/health/medical/ency/articles/flank-pain

Not likely kidney: Sharp, very brief spasm like pains posteriorly in the area of the rib cage usually are muscle spasms associated with the rib cage. Get examined to be sure
