for about two weeks now i've been having pain in my right shoulder area when i take deep breaths or yawn. my doctor couldnt figure out what was wrong, she figured it was muscular since xrays didnt show anything with my lungs. i was put on prendisone for 10 days and propoxy as needed. yesterday and this morning ive had pain just under the bottom of my right side rib cage when i breathe or yawn. i'm assuming it may be related, but i'd like to know why i'm having the pain, it's about an 8 on a scale of 1-10 when im at the end of my inhalation and beginning of my exhalation. any ideas as to what may be causing it? there was no injury.

 Hi!
Initial right shoulder pain and later right lower rib cage pain, both the pains make me think of some pathology involving the right diaphragmatic area. Since your x-rays have shown your lungs to be clear, I would focus my attention towards the liver. Have you had any blood tests done?
