Appendix pain would come over the lower right quadrant of your abdomen(McBurney's point). The right rib pain could be due to any local trauma, I would advise you to visit the ER so that you can be examined and undergo investigation such as an X-Ray to find any underlying problems and have it treated accordingly.
