What Causes Pain In Ribs And On Back Side?

I have pain in my ribs and back on my right side. I have had this for about a week. If I take pain relief it dull the pain for a short while . Then it starts again. My right side is very tender to the touch. And I can t lay on that side without it becoming very painful.

your symptoms suggest that you have soft tissue injury over right side of chest may be due to an unnoticed trauma. these injury takes at least 15-20 days to heal.
Rest, icing, local application of non irritant analgesic gel and anti-inflammatory analgesics such as ibuprofen will decrease pain and swelling. deep breathing exercise will also be helpful.
Hope this helps.
