Greetings! Thank you for your question.

Due to the limited information given by you, I can only provide you with common causes of back rib pain.

• Muscle pull due to sudden coughing- this is very common and not serious unless the pain does not go away. Muscle spasm of your rib cage muscles or muscles surrounding the ribs can happen when you suddenly cough or sneeze as a protective reflex.
• Swollen rib cartilage- can occur after intense workout
• Injury to the ribs- after trauma to the chest or the back part, you may feel rib pain.
• Inflammation of the lining of the lungs
• Liver problems-Liver is situated on the right side of your abdomen. Hence, the pain form liver inflammation can be felt on the right side.
• Gall bladder problems- Gall bladder is behind the liver. Hence, and conditions related to the gallbladder that causes pain may be felt at the right side. This includes inflamed or infected gall bladder.
