The Right Upper Abdomen Just Beneath My Last Rib Is

Posted on Wed, 16 Sep 2020

Question: The right upper abdomen just beneath my last rib is sensitive and feels like a cramp mixed with a sensitive bruise along with a sensation that feels like it would when a vein collapses donating plasma,but that sensation is located right at the bottom of my breast plate on my upper abdomen.. it keeps me awake at night.. and is getting really aggravating while working too.. sometimes really much worse than others.. I went to the hospital once about a week and a half ago,they thought it might be my gallbladder but didnt see anything on xray or ultrasound.. any ideas on what I might be looking at?

Brief Answer:
It could be musculoskeletal pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Liver and Gallbladder are the two important organs present beneath the ribs on right side.As X-ray , Ultrasound abdomen didn't show any abnormality,they seem to be normal.
Next possibility is musculoskeletal pain.I prescribe Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside to my patients with similar complaints.
If there is no response,CT scan Abdomen should be taken.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
Regards
