For a few days I have been experiencing pain under my ribs on the right side high up. It seems worse in the morning like I have turned over and hurt it.
If I am still and do not move it is okay.
I am feeling tired too. I have a number of conditions like osteoporosis and Crohns so not sure if there is a link.
any suggestions as to what this might be?

I did wonder about a hiatus hernia. How long have you had it & have you been to your GP yet?

I have not been concerning this as was only at my doctor's two weeks ago.
Not sure about hiatus hernia but did have a scan six months or so ago and that turned up gallstones and diverticulitis. The latter was lower though!
It feels a bit like a strain or pulled muscle because if I do not move it is okay.
I am just guessing though!

It's about the right place for gallstones. Does the pain increase if you have fatty food, for example?
Perhaps this page will help you

My diet had been challenged by visitors and birthdays recently.

I hope you will be able to sort it out very soon & begin to feel better. Good luck Kathleen

I will assume it is gallstones as diagnosed already and in the right place for that.
I see my Crohns specialist in ten days and that is in his domain as well.

Hi Kathleen, could you telephone your Specialist's secretary & see if your appt could be brought forward by a few days? Or perhaps she would be able to get some advice for you until you see the specialist.
