What Causes Pain In The Right Side Of The Rib Cage?

Hi, I'm a 30 year female with tolerable right side pain under right rib cage and into the side of my back. I also has lower back muscle pain. I have no fever, or vomiting and no changes in urine. I have no insurance and I'm trying to avoid going to the ER. I have had this discomfort for a couple of weeks. I was hoping that it's muscle related.
