Right rib cage pain.. Liver disease?

A little over three years ago, I had abdominal pain. It started in the lower left side. Then it was on the upper right side. Went to the doctor. I had blood tests, nothing. I had an ultrasound that showed I had gallstones. That was it. That was on a Friday. My doctor was arranging for a doctor to remove my gallbladder. On Monday, I threw up three large blood clots, nearly passed out and barely made it to the ER before I bled out from a gastrointestinal hemmorage. What I had was a giant 6 CM bleeding ulcer that I didn't know I had, nor did anyone else. I never had diahrea or a bloody stool. I never threw up blood until that day. I did have extreme pain.

I have the exact same pain and exact same background and age as you. It's ruining my life. I go to the doctor next week, but I am very frightened. Could you please give an update on your condition? 

I've had similar pain, and for the last ~two years have told myself I had a cracked rib that was slow to heel.  It was on and off pain, but mostly when my husband hugged me tightly or another pressure turn in my torso or something on the upper right side.  X-rays showed my ribs were fine, about a month ago. I'm getting an MRI next. It's just weird. (And, my poop seems fine and normal for the record. ha!)

I have a similar past with alcohol...Last night I woke up with a stomach ache above my belly button (not gas pains), it was a dull aching pain. For the past 3-4 years I have had major constipation. My GP has prescribed Stool Sofenters, Fiber mixers, and the sort to relieve it. The best I have found to work is over the counter Enemas. My doc said as long as it doesn't have (a harmful ingredient - can remember what the term is) I would be fine to use them if they helped. I can't have a bowel movement anymore if I don't do use one. I know this doesn't feel like constipation ( it's never been a pain above my belly button and under my sternum), yet I didn't enema anyways. Turns out, I had bowel movements like I usually do (basically, like large rabbit pellits). Anyhew, the pain above my belly button seemed to be relieved, but now I have a very dull aching pain on my right side, under the far left of my rib cage. I know what it feels like to have liver pains, as I am a recovering alcoholic. The pains were lower than what I am experiencing. I work in a wharehouse part-time, on my feet for about 5 hours, lost some weight, and the doc was happy with that I could feel the pain at work today, but it wasn't as bad as me sitting down and am feeling the pain more than I was when I was on my feet. I too, think maybe it's all in my head. But, of course, am searching onlibe for similar experiences to have a sense of what might be going on. I came across Gallstones, but had my gallbladder wasremoved during my detox from alcohol about 7 years ago. I keep coming across liver issues, but this pain is above my liver....When I had the scare of liver problems, it was right below the area as which I am concerned about, and experienceing now. I hate the doc appointments (who doesn't), but want to have a sense of what this would be. My father died of cirroshis of the liver when I was 9 years old (never knew him, but he must have been in his early 30's when he passed - I will be 38 this coming May 2018). Searching this experience (I am having), all I come across is liver related issues. Freaked out and really scared right now. Scared that the docs will have no clue as to what might be gong on (as I have read your difficult experience trying to find an answer, without a indication of what might be going on). Please let me know of anything you have discovered. I'm stressing so much about it now. This has all transgressed in the past 24 hours. Maybe I'm jumping the gun...but don't most people search the web when they experience an unknown pain before going to the docs? I know I am. I hope you are feeling better, are better, or have been told what the heck is gong on. -Sincerly Kate P.S....this all started after a very complicated, and an extremely stressful work related issue. True story that sucks (Ass). P.P.S Am I jumping the gun on this???

I can't believe you have been experiencing this over the past 4 months! It has been only 24 hours for me! Would not be able to function like this for a week, much less than 4 months. Obviously you are alive though... that's good to know, lol!

I've had rib pain on the right side for about 2 months now. I've had a few events where I've had to go to the ER from gastro like symptoms and extreme dehydration, plus abdominal pain that made me feel like i was about to be in a scene from an alien movie where somethong was about to explode from my abdomen. I had 1 doctor tell me there was nothing suspicious about ending up in the ER from gastro once a month. But my regular doctor has had my liver tested and LOW AND BEHOLD i found out i have an inflammed liver. It would be worth having your liver ALT levels checked if you havent already (mine are 5 times the normal amount). If it weren't for my family doctor following up with bloods every time i got sick i might have ended up in the ER in the next month from liver failure. I don't drink or smoke, I think this is a case of s**t luck.

TL;DR i have pain in my right rib cage and i have an inflammed liver.
