Brief Answer:
Can be muscle spasm.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pain on sides and back that hurts even on breathing is likely to be related to muscle spasm or a muscle strain. This usually decreases with rest, oral muscle relaxants, a hot compress and application of a local analgesic gel. In case the pain is severe or persistent or is associated with any local swelling then stronger prescription medicines may be needed after a detailed examination.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
