Hi ! Good monring. I am Dr Shaeef answering your query.

A pain of the intensity you have described on the right side upper abdomen and under the ribs could be due some pathological process in the hepatobiliary system.
If I were your doctor,after a clinical examination I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out a gallstone cholecystitis, or an inflammation in the liver. Further management would depend on the clinical findings, and reports of the investigations.

As your pain is high in intensity, I would suggest you to go the ER of the nearest hospital to get assessed and proper immediate management of your pain. Any elective procedure could be done after you get through your insurance papers and depends on your doctor's advice as well.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
