Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Below The Rib Cage
My 41 yr old son is having pain (not constant but when he moves a certain way) on his right back side right below his rib age. I thought it might be gall bladder or kidney. Can you diagnose or tell me where I can look to pinpoint where these 2 organs are located?
