Pain under the ribs

Hello, I am a 24 year old boy.

I have a constant pain more or less strong which is located under the ribs on the right or in the back (but close to the ribs). It is constant 24 hours a day. It has been going on for a week.

I have had this before, last year. The pain lasted for 8 months and the liver, pancreas and stomach tests showed no problem. Except for a small amount of steatosis in the liver which was quickly cured. But nothing justified the pain. She left on her own in March 2021. And she has been coming back for a week for no reason.

It hurts a little less when I am standing or lying down. The pain increases when sitting.

It drives me crazy. Have you ever felt similar things?

Thanks you

    hey, sorry youre going thru this. how would you describe the pain? i have this but would say its more of a discomfort than pain. ever on your left side? all my tests have come back fine. now seeing an ortho for a possible issue with my spine that could be referring pain to front. im about your age too... 25. have you thought about any kind of problem you could have with your back? i kno its frustrating to not know whats causing it.
