Pain on right side of abdomen under ribcage?!


Question: EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I GET THIS PAIN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY ABDOMEN, A LITTLE BIT UNDER MY RIBCAGE. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING HARDENING AND THROBBING. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I SNEEZE, STAND UP, OR LAY DOWN. AND IF I TRY TO STAND STRAIGHT UP, IT GETS WORSE, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO EXPLODE. SO I HAVE TO STAY BENT DOWN UNTIL THE PAIN IS GONE. FORTUNATELY IT LASTS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE?

Hi Candy, I'm sorry to hear you have these intense pain spasms. I believe this is probably a spasm of the muscles in the area located near your gall bladder (your liver is also located in this area.) If you have gall stones you can have what you are describing as "spasms" as this is your body trying to "expel" or move the stones from the gall bladder. I suggest you speak with your doctor about these attacks so he or she can investigate further. Best of luck!
