I was coughing and felt a pop at my right ribs. Now there is pain and soreness when I cough or if I lift my right arm and return back to neutral position. I've had the coughing for about 2 weeks, with phlegm in the morning but less by night. There's no chest or upper back pain unless I move. I'm 38 and using over-the-counter drugs like Buckley's. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the pain before seeing a doctor?

Are they a different color? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? I am a virgin, if you think I could get it sexually.
