For the past couple weeks ive had pain under my lower right ribcage. Dont know what it is. Is it simply possibly a pulled muscle? Or something more serious? Please help. Its worrying me to death.
well i hope i canhelp a bit but my prob may not be what ur having. ive had this prob for years now and ive done some net research and all ive come up with is pulled muscles. about 6 yrs ago it got severe and i went to the docs who thought it could be an enlarged spleen!! i went for all types of tests and was so worried when all came back ok he said its just muscle related although i dont know how!! my pain isnt really a pain so much as a really dull ache almost like if u lift something heavy adn that burning feeling u get in ur arms when uve held it too long. ive had it on and off and really feel it if someone presses that area and it doesnt even need to be hard. its under my left rid cage. so if this sounds like ur prob i really wouldnt stress it cause alot of people have this. i find it gets worse if im bloated or if i sit up too long.
Could be pain from your gallbladder. Your spleen would also cause pain under your ribs, but on the left side, so you're probably okay there. But check into gallbladder problems.
Sounds like it could be gall bladder. Gall bladder pain can come and go for months or even years. Most gall bladder pain radiates to your back also.
Good luck
Thanks for all the help everyone. If it is my gallbladder, is it possibly something serious that I need to go to the doctor for? Or should I just wait and see if it goes away? (Maybe its gallstones? Im not sure)
