Pain behind right rib and into back not tender to touch no visible bruise pain with moving/breath no pain when deep breath and hold it then moving.

Many possibilities: Sorry to hear about your pain. In that area, we consider gallstones, pulled muscles, gastritis and ulcers, and less likely blood clots and lung infections, to name a few. Try some ibuprofen. Does it worsen with food? If you get fever or short of breath or nausea, I'd suggest being seen. Good luck!
