    Have your doctor check your gall bladder could be a possibility.

    Hi, are you still having the same issues? I have had exact same pain for 10 years, and have had every test possible, and every test comes back negative. It is to the point where I cannot sleep on my right side ever! As long as I put no pressure on my right side, I am okay. If I sleep on my right side, it hurts immediately and then it will ache for a few hours after I am awake. 

    Just wondering if you ever found out what was wrong? The best thing my docs can come up with is, slipped rib syndrome, but I am not so sure. Sometimes it feels like it is internal organs and not musculoskeletal. 

    Thanks for any info!

      Hi, I had similar pains when my gall bladder was involved during radiotherapy to abdominal masses caused by Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

      At least I knew why.

      When looking for a cause of your symptoms, what else is in that region other than the Gall bladder........Liver, kidney, lung, even referred pain from other areas, I am sure they have all been checked out.

      After 10 years, I imagine you would have to be frustrated with the medical profession, if nobody is able to make a diagnosis.

      Perhaps you could try other sources other than General Practitioners and get referrals to specialists.

      Don't rule out nerve involvement.

      I'm interested to follow your search for a diagnosis, so please keep in touch via this link.

      Good luck. 🤔
