Hi there all,

I am going to book a doctors appointment but until then......i just wanted a little advice as i am a worrier when it comes to my health to say the least!!

For some weeks now, i've had a kind of dull ache (discomfort not pain) on my right hand side (upper abdomen).

Sometimes, it radiates to the back, again still on the right side.

ABSOLUTELY, no other symptoms. I'm female, 48 years, a little over weight but not much.

I do drink alcohol, at weekends, more binge drinking if I'm honest but I'm fairly fit and on my feet all day. Diet quite good at the moment.

very much appreciated

    Hi there

    Really you need to get an ultrasound scan done and some tests to discover cause, could well be gallstones.

    good luck
