The mid right side of my rib cage hurts mainly when sitting, bending over, or moving my arm. what could this be? it doesn't hurt when laying down.

Could be rib: Dysfunction, due to slight dislocation or slippage. This causes intercostal (between ribs) muscle pain and nerve irritation. Or it could be something else. You can read more about it here. http://www.basicspine.com/conditions-procedures/pain-management/slipped-rib-syndrome.html if it doesn't go away, see a doctor.
