Upper Right Pain known as RUQ Pain

Posted , 1 user is following.

My pain started 3 months ago. Started as a tiny flicker under the right rib in my upper abdomen. Waited 6 weeks before seeing my doctor hoping it would go away. It didn't so made an appointment saw doctor scheduled a RUQ ultra sound. Found a small 2.3cm lesion on my liver which I knew about 12 years ago. Didn't grow to much. It's a size of a peanut. All my other organs were checked everything checked out ok nothing else. Doctor said it could be a stomach ulcer put me on Prilosec for 2 months! Your not even suppose to be on that stuff that long. I do not have acid reflex or a stomach ulcer. I took for one week and stopped. Wasn't helping. The dull pain is with me every second of the day. Doesn't Escalate it stays the same dull pain every day. Doctor have no answers looks at me like I'm insane telling him about my dull pain. Your body is telling you something is wrong. I'm not insane, and I'm not making this up either. Went to specialist he ordered MRI of my abdomen and same results. Small lesion on liver doctor could confirm it's a cyst and not cancer. I'm so thankful for that result! It just feels like someone is pressing or stepping and putting pressure on my right side under the right rib. It's like when you run and you run to hard then you get this dull pressure pain but eventually it goes away, but I'm not running and the dull pain is there. I'm able to sleep at night the pain does not wake me up so thankful for that. It's very aggravating and so stressful beating yourself up cause you didn't feel this way before! Just trying to find answers! So, it just baffles me people are suppose to go on with their lives feeling this dull aching pressure under your ribs everyday. If anyone else has these symptoms or found a doctor who would listen and helped you could you please let me know I'm going nuts over here trying to figure out what the heck is happening to me when doctors tells me nothing is wrong! Also, I want to note I'm very healthy until this happened to me. My dull pain does not change when I eat anything. I do find myself burping a little more than usual though. Thanks!
