Anyone with pain under ribs?

Posted , 4 users are following.

It used to happen when I sat for long in an airplane for example. I sat for 3 hours the other day, and the pain is still here.

It started on the right, just bellow the lower ribs. It is moving more towards the mid abdomen now but it is still at the edge of or just bellow the ribs. It almost feels as if it is the diaphragm but it isn't because it doesn't hurt when I breath. It hurts with movement, and sometimes constantly. I get mild headache with it too. I thought it might be my gallbladder but it the pain moves. When it does not hurt I just feel it as pressure. anyone had something similar?

    hi i'm having the same since Feb. It's located on my lower right handside. I've got gastritis and acid reflux. I had a scan done on Friday so just waiting my results.

    Sometimes it moves into my ribs on the side more right handside

    I had endoscopy done 5 months ago and showed gastritis.

    I have had that for the last month. Finally my pain got so bad I went to ER. 2 trips later and finally they did a CT and what mine ended up being is called Epiploic Appendagitis. Not to be confused with the Appendix. They gave me 600mg Ibuprofen and some nausea medication and sent me on my way. My pain also was really bad in my right shoulder and armpit. I'm still not feeling great but at least some reasoning behind why I was feeling so awful. Hope this is helpful in some way. Take care.

    Hello!

    I have been experiencing upper stomach pain for about one - two months. It feels like there is a pressure pretty much all day and then sometimes there are a few sharp pains here and there. It's not always just under my ribs but usually upper abdomen area in general. Sometimes it moves to my side and sometimes my back. I have also had upper should pain that comes and goes. I feel hungry but sometimes do not feel like eating but force myself to eat something. There is a burning sensation in the back of my throat that comes and goes but it's not sore and not red or swollen. It does not seem to really ever go away and just kind of lingers all day. Is this how you all feel, too?

    I have other things going on, too. I have low iron and am hypothyroid. I have not yet stopped having periods but will be 50 in a few months and had my hormone levels checked for the first time. My FSH is 58, estradiol is less than 50 (I don't have an actual value bc that's how the lab reported it). I feel like I'm sick pretty much every day for the past few months but it's just a feeling and nothing is showing up on my labs except for issues with my iron and thyroid which I have had for years. I am not even in actual menopause yet bc I still have periods, but ugh I just feel not well. I am thankful to have found this blog bc I am reading on here that women are experiencing similar things. Thank you all.
