Suggest Remedy For Pain And Tenderness Under Right Rib Cage
I am having significant tenderness and pain under my right rib cage in the area of my liver. It started today and has gotten worse throughout the day. I had my gallbladder out over ten years ago but it feels similar to when I would have an attack. Is this something I need to check on?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your complain you have tenderness over liver area. Ultrasonography can be done to check out hepatic enlargement. Detail history and investigation give exact idea. Consult a physician for further diagnosis. The intensity and duration of pain with aggravating factor is helpful for further diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
