What Causes Pain Below The Ribcage On The Right Side?

I have right sided pain around bottom of rib cage. Mainly on side, not really extending to abdomen or back. I seem to notice it most when leaning to the right side when I tie shoes or do exercises at gym that have me bend to the side. No nausea, heartburn, bowel changes, chest pain noted.

Hi since it is on right side, it can be due to liver or gall bladder.
You should get an abdominal sonography done.
But first rule out muscle pull by taking an anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen along with an antacid--regards
