Dull Ache Under Right Ribs Posted: 07-23-05 19:22pm
I occasionally get a a slight dull ache
under my right rib cage. The pain is not
hard, not very painful, not severe, not
sharp or it doesnt move to the back. It
does not come on after eating, it comes on
when and if it likes. For example its now
8 eight hours since I had lunch and
nothing in between. I dont eat any fatty
foods like burgers, fries or other fried
stuff (although I used to weeks or months
ago only at lunch while at work), I am not
fat as well, im about 65kg, im slim, in my
early 30's, but only my stomach looks bit
fat thats all no other part of me.
The only other problem I have is I cant
eat anything too big, I can only small
portion otherwise I get full quick and
sometimes feel bloated. Rennie doesnt
work with me, I once tried zantac - it
made my bloatedness so worse I thought I
was gonna burst. Thats it.
So, what im really concerned about is the
slight dull ache I keep getting
occasionally, its not constant either, it
just comes and goes. Most part of the day
there no ache at all.
Help.

Hello There! Posted: 12-23-05 12:53pm
Wow! You have exactly the same symptoms
as me. I am a 24 year old male. And have
been suffering with these symptoms for
years. Alls I can say is ask for an
ultrasound scan of your gall bladder. I
have just had one and it came back as me
having a thickend wall gall bladder. You
dont have to have pain in your back for it
to be your gall bladder, people have
different symptoms.
I have to see a surgeon in a few
months...Looks like I will have to have it
out. Nice!
Take care

You could be having problems with your
gall bladder, but another possibility is a
hernia. It can bring on similar symptoms.
But yup, definitely go to a doctor and
request for a stomach x-ray and ultrasound
done.
But I can tell u the stomach x-ray isn't
fun. I had it once. They make u drink
this barium solution which is thick,
chalky, and white along with gas pills.
Think of it as a early morning milkshake.
=d
good luck!

I Dont Know What This Pain Is Posted: 01-11-06 18:40pm
My first pain that I experienced was back
in jan. 05 I would get some pains here
and there. They we always in the morning,
but as soon as I ate something they went
away. During this past summer I would be
working and the pains would come and go.
There would be days where my stomach would
hurt so bad that it made back pains. I
had a hard time working with these pains
specially when it affected my middle/lower
back. Now the thing that helped calm the
pains is if I sat down but if I ate
something it totally took care of the
pains. I went to the doctor about 3 weeks
ago for this because now it is a every day
occurrence and some days its too much pain
in my back. The doctor said it was an
ulcer and had me get on nexium the get a
endoscope done. The endoscope showed no
ulcer but I had inflammatory in my
stomach. So now they want me to get an
ultra sound on my abdoman. If I dont eat
anything the pain gets so bad that I cant
stand and feel nausiated and light headed.
Is it my back or stomach?
