I have been having sharp pains in my sides below or around in rib cage for a little less than a year. what could be causing this?

Rib cage pain: Might be from the ribs, or pleura. It might be lung related but unlikely. I would see a doctor. Get examined. They might take a chest xray and or rib films.
