Hi, I have had a dull ache that comes and goes in my right upper abdominal area for almost a week. No other symptoms except for constipation. I went to the dr today, after examining me, she said I was definitely tender under my right ribcage and suggested an ultrasound. I'm scared, that something is really wrong, like cancer. I always fear the worse. Has anyone gone through this?

I have the same problem, I’ve had 2 ultrasounds and nothing showing. It will be more than likely you will be the same, it’s very common for nothing to show. I have chronic Gastritis which showed up with an endoscopy. My pain in my upper right quadrant has been coming and going for the last year.

If your pain moves about all over your abdomen, and you get temporary relief of pain after a bowel movement, it may be IBS especially since you have constipation. Some people also get rib cage pain with IBS. Do you have pain after eating? This can also be a sign of IBS or gastritis.
I have IBS and get shifting abdominal pain, constipation, loose stools or diarrhoea, back pain and sometimes nausea,

Thank you all so much for your responses. I had the ultrasound done this morning. The tech was kind enough to tell me she didn't see anything g serious, so that helped my anxiety. I did start on the Konsyl Tuesday evening, which has really seemed to help my constipation and maybe ease my side pain. Perhaps I need more fiber in my diet? Still a tad sore. So will be anxious to hear from the dr.

Well, ultrasound came back normal. Now I am having upper stomach cramps as well as what feel like menstrual cramping. Started a new womens probiotic today from garden of life, as well as a green super food power. Stoped the Konsyl as I think it might be causing the gas pains and cramping.. Going back to dr on Tuesday.
