Slight Tenderness Under Right Ribs. Posted: 05-24-06 07:16am
Most people may not even post this...But
i'm a hypochondriac (or so i've been
told), so I figure I will just to get some
feedback.
I have a slight feeling of tenderness
under my right ribs....It's nothing major
and it's never sharp...It's quite dull and
won't cause anything more than slight
discomfort.
Here are the symptoms: (in list format
just b/c it keeps me from rambling)
-- slight feeling of tenderness when the
area is touched, or when my body suddenly
moves (such as hitting a bump in the car).
The touch doesn't have to be much...It
can be water from the shower hitting it.
However, the weird part is that if I touch
it and feel the tenderness a couple of
times, subsequent touches won't yield any
feelings. It's like it "goes away" after
a touch or 2 for a while.
-- I don't feel anything if i'm sitting
down or laying down. Rarely do I feel it
walking....It can happen after a while of
walking, but typically this is pretty
small.
-- i've felt the region and looked at it
and cannot see any bulge, feel any lumps
or notice any discoloration. Both sides
of my stomach feel the same.
So yeah...I know this is the region of the
gall bladder and liver organ-wise. I'm
not sure if it'd be those, or perhaps a
deep bruise....Or maybe a strain of a
muscle. I have no clue.
**note: I would typically just go to a
doctor b/c I tend to be a hypochondriac
but my benefits haven't kicked in yet at
work. So i'm just trying to "feel it
out".**
