Pain In/under Right Rib Cage?
Posted: 09-21-07 14:19pm

I've been experiencing pain around my right rib cage for about a week now. One night it got really bad, and I was tossing and turning all night. The next day, I felt really sick and couldn't really stand up or anything. Still experiencing pain 2 days later, but able to walk, but no running or excercising. Any idea what it is?

Could be your gall bladder. Have you ever had this kind of pain before?

No I haven't had pain like this before. It's somewhat constant, but hurts more when I inhale. I take medicine that can cause ulcers and such if not taken with enough fluids, but I've always made sure to drink enough with it. Also, I'm 15 years old if that makes any difference.

You should tell your mom. You should get it checked out at the very least.

Good luck!

Is next Friday soon enough? I'm going to see my dermatoligist, and I'll just ask her. Or do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

You need to see your regular doctor. Would you see a french chef about a hamburger? Dermatologist specializes in SKIN. Not stomach.
