Rib/muscle pain
I've had rib/muscle pain for about a week and a half now, every time i cough it hurts, i went to the doctor's and he said it was muscular and gave me a perscription of Naproxen and paracetamol, however yesterday i sneezed and the pain was horrific, i heard a popping sound in the rib/muscle area that was hurting, and now i am finding it hard to bend down, cough, sneeze, and even breathe in at certain points, and have a nagging "stitch" feeling in the same lower right back area of my ribs.

Rib muscles( intercostal muscles) are involved in the act of cough. If one suffers from continuous cough it will cause strain to these group of muscles which leads to pain. First you have to get treated for your cough, that will help to reduce this pain.
Next Steps
Consult your physician, they will identify the cause for your cough and prescribe medicine accordingly.
