Hi, I woke up one morning and under my
right lower rib cage was killing me. I
thought I had slept the wrong way. Well,
it's been a week and no changes.
It doesn't ache, it just hurts to touch it
and very unconfortable to sleep. The pain
in directly on my right side exactly where
my rib ends. When I try to feel around in
there, it hurts terribly. Feels like
there is something in there under my rib.
Any ideas. Thanks :cry:

Liver resides just under rib cage on right
side. Possibly your liver???

Your best bet is to go to the Dr. And to
get it checked out, it could be gass or
something minor or it could be something
more major.
Good luck!
Keep in touch!

It is possible for it to be liver related
but if it is your actual ribs and not
something inside or behind the ribs I
would hesistate to think that. If it is a
liver problem, you are going to quickly go
from a but sore to a dire situation and it
will only get worse the longer you wait to
get treatment.
A good way to kind of rule out this
problem is to press on the area just below
your ribs on the right side, if there is
no pain, it probably isn't organ
related.
You may have an intercostal bruise where
the area between the ribs is swollen and
hurting or it could be a fractured rib.
Have you been coughing alot or playing any
rough sports? It could just be a
contusion but in any case, no one here can
diagnose you, you need to visit your
family doc and see what they think.

It actually feels as if it's under the
bottom of my right rib on my side. If
were liver problems, wouldn't I have other
symptoms along with it? I hope? Thanks

That may be a cause for alarm. If you
cannot get in to see you family physician,
you may want to head in to the er for some
preliminary testing. This is not
something you want to wait around for.

I agree--any internal organ in pain--is a
cause for alarm. I would go in too if it
does not stop within couple of days.

I went to the Dr. And had an ultra sound
of all of my organs. They looked perfect.
But my side is still killing me.
Waiting for bloodwork results. It feels
swollen and painful to touch. It never
changes

Keep pushing to get answers! It is great
news that it isn't organ related!

I have similar pain except the pain under
my right ribs is accompanied by pain on
the right side of my back, and I have
problems walking on my right leg, it's
almost like dead weight. Had my organs
tested but they came back normal. Im
curious to know if you get any answers,
and what other kinds of tests you get
done. Good luck.

Hi, it turned out to be plurisy, an
inflamation of the lining around the rib
area

Hey! I have the same issue. I only feel
I when I sit down. I have a sit down job.
I had my chest xrayed and catscan in
november and they didn't find any thing.
