What Causes Pain In Rib?

Hi, I am getting pain along the lower edges of my right rib, and also in the back - on the back ribs new my shoulder page. The pain seems to alternate between the two places. It is worse sitting down or leaning forward, or using a PC. No pain whilst running, deep breaths, or sleeping. I would be grateful for any information.
