I am a 61 year old female. I have terrible right rib pain. I have recently had an ultra sound of my gall bladder,right kidney,liver,and pancreas, I also had an endoscopy,a colonoscopy, and a ct scan. All fine.I keep telling the doctors it my actual rib cage that hurts not what is under it.I was just off work for three day weekend and it seemed much better. Now that I am back it is hurting again. I have been on the net looking up everything I can but to no avail. Oh I forgot to mention that 4 years ago I had lung surgery on that side.
