constant pain under the ribs (on the right side ..in the back)

Have you been checked for lyme and coinfections from ticks. Going through it now. All my labs came back normal too (including all tick tests, but I had a tick bite on my belly). Pains in back and sides for months. Kidney infections but no diagnosis. Found a Dr that is doing therapeutic treatment. Slowly seeing signs of improvement.

Actually most of the causes of our illness is due to our bad eating habit. We don't care anymore of what kind of food we eat. Organs in our body malfunctions because of bad cholesterols we intake. According to World Health Organizaton that our body to make healthy we must eat 5-6 servings of fresh raw leafy vegetables in a day, double it if you have illness. The problem is do we have a fresh and had never been have a fertilisers vegetables nowadays? Can we eat raw green leafy vegetables? Even fruits are not safe, mostly of the foods available now contains ingredients that are harmful to our health. That's why we need to prevent those diseases before it cause's us to cure but don' t know how.

Our body has its own doctor, we call it the immune system. The immune system will fight the diseases that will come to our body. We need booster it through eating foods that has all the nutrients we need in our body.

Believe me, to all of you, for the Glory of God, this is the the truth. God bless everyone. I am so much happy that i was able to read all your problems. Just pm me for more infos. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm suffering from EXACTLY the same symptoms, reading how explained your case 10 months ago was like you were talking about me !

I'm 31 and been having this pain since the age of 29.

First it started out only when traveling and doing a lot of sightseeing and of course made my vacations so miserable as I had to either sit or lay dawn. The pain is like electric shocks in the back below the right ribs as well. Now the psin has really increased and even when I'm not traveling.

The Doctor told me I don't need any further tests or x-rays and that that would be a waste of time and money.

He said that there are small nerves between the ribs, maybe they are causing the pain. I asked why and he said the reason is not known!!!

So for me, I will consult with a neurologist to check that. I would advise you to do the same.

Note: I'm an athlete and I run around 80 Kms per week plus I swim and it never hurts me while doing sports.

Maybe it's related to the posture. But I will go to the neurologist and see about that as well.

Good luck to you with your pain, hope we will all get to know the reason to be able to cure it accordingly.

I've been following this post for the last few months trying to figure out why I've been feeling the same way.  I went to a physical therapist this morning to have my back adjusted and she told me that I had a rib disfunction and that could very well be causing the rib tenderness and the feeling of something being wedged under my ribs.  After the back pain subsides, I'll let you know if that did the trick.

Hi geox,

I'm just wondering did you manage to get a diagnosis for your symptoms?

I have the same sympthoms for a couple of months or even longer. I want to check my pancreas, it could be inflammated. Has anyone checked the pancreas? 

here I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PAIN. I REALLY THOUGHT AT ONE POINT IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. i HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THE DOCTOR AND HAD ALL THE SAME TESTS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING.  I GUESS THAT IS GOOD BUT I HATE FEELING THIS PAIN. IF ANYONE FINALLY GETS THE ANSWER LET ME KNOW.

This all sounds very familiar. I too have had a few months of pain on and under the last part of right rib cage. I was given a gallbladder/liver ultrasound -nothing. Had bloods tested for count and something else to do with inflammation...nothing. Told to refrain from exercise, which I do once a week of circuit normally and Told to take highest amount of ibuprofen for two weeks to reduce any inflammation...and still no change and In fact since stopping the pain killers it seems to be there more than ever. It's only when I press on it or lean over that side,but it is very tender and sore to touch.the pain never goes away and seems to manifest around and under the false ribs. Could it be slipping rib syndrome...or maybe it's only the ribs further up that can be affected by this? Amazing how so many doctors are baffled by what it is. I have a doc appt on Monday as I want to rule out any other organ issues(although not many organs in that area left to check)& then I may self refer to a physio in the hope that they can diagnose a slipped rib or muscular nerve issue that can be sorted. Fed up now really! Any luck with anyone else finding out what it is?

Hi there,

I've been reading all these posts just blown away. Anyway, hopefully, I can help. I have had this same pain you are experiencing for two years. I have had numerous tests. I don't want to waste your time but get to the point. I'm a nursing student, I'm 42 years old and a long distance runner. I eat well, not overweight at all and have had a multitube of health issues in the last two years that are getting resolved with determination and just plain telling my doctors what there going to do then them blowing me off. I've literally been told by doctors, I don't fit the description of a patient with problem and I have anixiety. Well, I proved them wrong. I've had to demand MRI and find doctors who will work with me rather than against me. It's my health and I know my body better than they do. Doctors have been wrong numerous of times. As far as my right side pain, I've had ct scans MRI's, ultra sounds, extensive blood work and a Hida Scan, colonoscopies, and endoscopies. I will tell you, I have a wonderful Gastrologoist. He at one point did think I had aniexty too, but after I fractured my Left femoral neck and just had surgery for my right hip of a superior labral severe labral tear, reacttached with anchors and a femoral cam impignment (osteoplasty) 9 weeks ago, I'm doing better, however, it took me three orthopedic doctors until I found the right one who actually did his job and cared. My gastro was relieved because we just could not find any findings on my right side. The first three weeks after surgery my right side pain had subsided mostly because I wasn't eating due to the pain meds making me sick. However, once I started eating and getting back on a normal routine, guess what.....it's all back.....pain under right rib, soreness, chronic shoulder pain and massive tenderness in my back and attackes at anytime. It's chronic. I went back to my gastro, he didn't order my hida scan, my GP did, so after reviewing it, he told me my infraction rate was way to high 89%, he said normal is 40-60 or 70%. So, he told me I need to see a surgeon and at this point my gallbladder should come out. He also believes I have Billiary and Gallbladder Dysenskia. It's a recent discovering and many patients have been suffering just as I have. Patients have no stones but all the symtoms as if they do. Billiary Dysenskia is the gallbladder basicly malfunctioning and dumping bile, too much bile. For me this has caused inflammation in my colon over the years. The downfall is not all gastro surgeons believe in Billiary dysenskia. My gastro and the surgeon are firm believers and have seen about 90% of there patients who's gallbladder removed no longer suffer from symptoms and have made full recoveries. It's my understanding that leaving the gallbladder in with the sypmtoms leads to further complications with other organs, I know first hand for me, I now have protistis in my colon and inflammation. My surgery is schdeuled May 6th 2015 and my surgeon is also doing exploratory surgery to makesure my other organs have not been affected or have other complications. Sometimes scans and tests do not pick up or show up, so things get missed. Point made, in Janurary I had an arthrogram in my hip joint that revealed a minor labral tear, however, once my surgeon inserted the camera to do a scope, he was absoluately shocked my labrum was off my bone and hanging and ripped pretty severely, a 2 hour surgery turned into 5 hours, not what any of us expected.

All I can say is be proactive, persistant and demand tests, if your doctor won't work with you, go find another who will. I wish you the best of luck. If I can help in anyway, please let me know.

Hi! i also am going threw the same things. with no findings to anything. i feel so wore out been going threw thos for a year now. i do have blood in my urine sometimes. have numerous CT scans, xrays ultrasounds, next step is colonoscopy. had my overies checks, my liver and my kidneys. im so stressed out with this all. has anything changed for u? or mabey something i could try? im sp lost!

Hola my friend. I am not a doctor but have had several severe stomach issues. First, I MUST state that one negative CT scan or MR I does not mean that nothing es wrong. I found out that a lot depends on the person examining the CT scan or MRI. I had gall stones and "sludge" undiagnosed the first time but, was identified the second time. I also have a condition called gastroparesis. Upon examination by one GI doctor, I was told that the pain on my left side was the gastroparesis pain. The pain on the right was from the gallstones. The pain on the right also went to my back. I also felt better laying down. We well not discuss the pain of walking or standing. I do not know your specific condition but, I DEFINITELY recommend a second and possibly third opinion and maybe another CT scan at another facility. I certainly wish for b you the very best. One physician does not know it all.

On the right side it might be gall bladder or liver which is just under the last rib on the right side. Are you having yellow stools or do you look jaundice (very pale kind a yellow )at times. There may be a gall stone moving along the bile duct. Definately continue to see your GP as it can turn out to more serious than first thought.

I have the same symptoms, I have had scans and tests but nothing shows up apart from a gassy bowel, the doctor said that when the bowl holds gas it expands under the ribs, this causes the ribs to become inflammed causeing tenderness, I have tried cutting all sorts of foods out but nothing works, If i move suddenly I feel like i have been shot, It is also tender to touch as i found out when he proded me, please please if anyone has the answer i would love to hear from you x
