I am 35yr old female. I have constant severe pain on the front area right side just below my rib cage for the past 9 days. I had an ultra sound of my abdomen(gall bladder, kidneys, appendix, bladder) and everything is normal. The pain has not reduced in any way. I have no relief taking painkillers. I did not have blood tests or dye test. My GP has been treating me.Should I see a specialist urologist? I have not been to work for the past three days cos I am unable to drive. Please help me. The pain is unbearable.

Some doctors do see things differently... and if I was in that much pain, if I were you, seek a second opinion... you have to get a doctor's referral anyway to see a specialist... please see another doctor...
