Upper Right Quadrant pain?!


Question: I've had a rather slight consistent pain in my upper abdomen right around the lower portion of my ribs. At first, I thought possibly my floating rib was just doing some funny stuff, but at times it can become really painful. It is also hard to touch when compared to the other side. I can actually feel a difference in the opposing sides when laying on my stomach.

any ideas?

Your liver, and gall bladder is there. But really there are a few things that could be going on. You certainly need to see a Dr about this one and have at least an exam and maybe some xrays and lab work. You don't need to go to the ER unless it is so bad you just cannot stand it. Some over the counter pain medicine can be damaging to your liver so it is best if you get checked out rather than trying to take care of it yourself.
