Right rib cage pain?
Hi, I'm an eighteen year old female. Last Friday, immediately after I woke up and moved, I had a pain in my stomach, right under my Rib Cage. I thought it was a bug but the pain persisted. The pain has been a constant since then. It's been almost a week with it. It seems to be an intense pain under my right rib cage but I do get pain across the middle sometimes. Moving/walking a lot agitates it and sometimes after eating it acts up more. I do occassionally get nauseous but i havent thrown up yet. I thought it might be gas, but I've had normal gas and bow movements. A bit constipated but still normal, everyday. But the pain can get very intense and then sometimes it is like a dull pain and certain positions sometimes alleviates the pressure feeling. Sorry for the long explanation, but any idea what this might be?
It sounds a lot like a gallbladder problem. You probably want to see a doctor. Do anything you can before you consider taking it out. Many doctors make it sound like it's no big deal to lose it, but it really is.
Do you still have your appendix? does it hurt more when you press on it or release? It could be several things. It could be Gynecological or intestinal. If it continues I would see your doctor and they make run some tests depending on the results of the physical exam.
try and lay down more on the opiside side of the pain in the left dont lay on the right
