for a little over a year i have been having occassional crampy pain under my right rib area. lately the pains are more often, last longer, and spread to arpound my back around my shoulder blade area. also for the past few days i have been having yellow stools. i really don't like going to th edr. so i've been putting it off, but do you think this could be a gallbladder problem, or something with the liver?
thanks for any advice.

Are the stools yellow or more clay colored? Does the pain come on after you eat and are they worse if you eat fatty foods? If so, it sounds a lot like gall bladder, pain is usually in the upper back shoulder blade area. You really need to go get it checked out as it will only get worse.

I agree with the post above. Go to the Dr. and get this checked.
Good luck.

It definitely sounds like gallbladder problems to me. I had a terrible time with my gallbladder. You should read all of the postings on the digestive disorders board. There is a ton there about gallbladder problems. And you should definitely go to the dr and get checked out. In order to determine whether or not it is definitely your gallbladder, they may need to do an ultra-sound, Hida Scan with CCK, and blood tests (to check your liver functions, as they can be effected by the gallbladder.)

It's a good idea to go to the doctor to check if you have some serious problem - with the gallstones or whatever....
If it's gallstones, don't let them do surgery before reading about alternative methods of safely removing gallstones. It's called a "gallstone flush".

I will say this and only this...
lie down
Get your legs together and form a Ë
Get your hand on your liver area and do the following
Take a deep breath and at the exact time push towards your liver
If you feel pain you're murphy positive and there is some serious problem with your galbladder and liver...go asap to your doc as you might get worse even to a point that cant come back as there is a chance to produce pancreatitis and that is smthng you dont want...
If you dont feel pain go anywayz asap to your doc and make blood checks to see the level of of your hepatic enzymes sGOT ,sGPT...
in other words....RUN TO YOUR DOC... :)
