Good day dr, i have an irritable pain between my ribs and also muscle spasm in my neck and shoulder. all on my right hand, advice please?

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may take OTC pain medication, acetaminophen. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Wish you good health!
