HELP! I don't know what's going on...
OK, here goes....
I am having a lot of pain in my right abdomen. It feels like I got punched up under my ribs. It also hurts down by my hip and I'm sure that the hip pain I'm having is referred pain. I have ended up in the ER twice from this. The pain in my lower R abd. is pretty constant & will get very sharp. I don't have an appendix or gallbladder so that's not the problem. The pain under my ribs is usually a dull pain that gets sharp, like you're being poked, and it radiates to my back. I also had an ultrasound that said there was free fluid in my abdomen.
I am on a lot of medications, should I ask my doctor about doing liver function tests? Is there anything else I can do to relieve the pain?? I'm so tired of taking pain meds all the time.
Thanks,
Tammy
