Right side rib pain and tenderness, sensitive skin

For 8 weeks I've had pain in my right side (where my arm would rest naturally so all the way round at the side of my torso) , focused around the ribs and just under shoulder blade.  Also occasionally creeping into the right breast. I have had a clear mammogram and ultrasound (at annual review last month) and orthopedic Dr saw nothing on chest x-ray. Have been referred for CT scan. But meantime disturbing my sleep and weirdly even codeine and anti inflammatory medicine doesn't help. It is felt very much at the surface, almost in the skin. I keep expecting to find a rash but nothing there. 8 weeks now so far too long to suspect shingles.  Bone Dr was stumped. Breast doc was satisfied it's not a breast issue.  I'm mid 50s female.
No other issues. Keep in good shape. Pain not affected by movement, but area is sore when pressed on. What/where next? Thank you
