What Causes Sharp Pain On My Right Side?

I have been having sharp pain in my right side it started 5 days ago with a sharp pain in my stomach after I ate and that was clear by the third day. Now I m just having a sharp pain in my right side when I breathe, laugh, burp, hiccup, and cough. And today it seems to hurt even as I walk. Three days ago I saw a doctor for the stomach pain and they did a urine sample, blood sample, and did an X-ray on my stomach and found nothing. Any suggestions??
