Upper right abdominal and right mid-back pain, but only in the AM????

[Blondeleopard52]

Over the summer I started with a nagging ache right side only (upper abdominal) & I also feel it in the same spot on my back (like it goes straight though).  As the months go by, it is getting worse.  If I rouse at 6:30 AM, it hurts and I have to try to get into a comfortable spot in bed.  After I get up, move around, and eat, I'm fine.  No weight loss, yellow eyes, blood in stool or anything.  Sometimes, though, I may feel a fullness in that area (doesn't hurt).  My GI dr. dismissed me - doesn't believe it is intestinal (I suggested an endoscope, since I have a colonoscopy coming up).  My primary suggested a CT, but I don't want to jump into another one of those (more radiation).  Backstory:  I have had inflammation in my stomach in the past (gastritis/duodenditis) - flares that would last a week.  Only an endoscope after the fact showed evidence of "itis".  My mom had an ulcer at 50 (I'm 52).  My son (12) has severe IBD/eosinophilic disorder.  I'm confused by this because I feel normal during the rest of the day.  I'm scared it could be a tumor, but wouldn't that hurt all day?  It is in the area of the gallbladder, but doesn't come after fatty meals.  What on Earth could it be?

Could be kidney related. Have you had an ultrasound?
Try increasing you water intake and get cranberry or hibiscus extracts. Drink that and I hope it will help. I have personally had some UTIs and had quite similar pains. I took supplements and vitamins containing d-mannose and Hibiscus extracts

I wonder, esp. since I did have a weird 2 week episode of extremely increased urination around the end of Aug.  Also, the in Dec. '17 a urinalisis showed high levels of protein in the urine (100) - should be 30 and under.  Not sure if that means anything.  My GI dr. did give me a 'script for an ultrasound, so maybe that will show something.

And, thank you. I will try drinking more water.  I usually avoid that, because it will send me to the bathroom more often.

aha, that is where you are making things much worse for yourself. Water and coconut juice are your best friends now. You might want to take a diabetes test to rule that out.
And did you check out the natural herbs I mentioned?

My colonoscopy was clear!  I have a slip for an ultrasound - will schedule soon.  I can't drink/eat coconut, as I have issues with it.  But, I will check out the other herbs and drink more water!  I've been tested for diabetes within the year - negative, although my AC1 creeps over the years.  Have to keep an eye on that for sure.  Lots of autoimmune in my family.  Thanks again.

Glad I could help in a way and I am happy to hear about your clear results. I can recommend you the specific product that I used when i was suffering with a UTI and it helped. It contains the ingredients I had told you about btw
