I coughed a few days ago and have been experiencing pain on my right side ever since. The pain is not constantbut flares up when I cough, reach from the right side, sneeze, lay on my right side, etc. I had a CT scan on yesterday.My doctor emailed me and said that the results were not normal .What are some possibilities?
