What Causes Recurring Sharp Right Sided Pain In The Ribs?
I m having sharp pain in the upper right side up near the top of my rib cage. I ve had no trauma or strain there but have been coughing a good bit. The area is not sore to the touch and the pain does not come with movement - just almost constant shooting, stabbing pains.

Hi,
Coughing itself can cause strain on the ribs. You should consult a physician for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
