What Is The Cause Of Pain In Ribs?

I was doing leg press in the gym today. When I brought my knees to my chest I heard a "pop" just below my left ribs . Now several hours later I have some pain when I do a "crunch" or arch my lower back . What could this injury be ? What treatment can be applied ?
