For the past year or two, it seems as though everytime i jog or run any distance above like a quarter of a mile, i get a pretty bad pain seemingly under my ribs exclusively on the right. does anyone have any experience with this or know what this is?

It sounds like what moats runners experience at one time or another. This will commonly occur when first trying to get into shape to be able to run any distance. One technique I have used many times with success is force breath exhaling 3-4 times. Then as needed you do this while running once you feel comfortable doing. Most times more than once is required.
