What Causes Pain In Upper Right Abdomen While Walking?

I am getting a mild pain in my upper right abdomen while walking. A month ago a bent in my car from the front seat to get hold hold of a packet lying in the back seat. Then immediatley i could feel that my muscles on the upper right abdomen got constritced and remaine din that position for some time and then returned to normal. a few days after that incident i observed that i am getting this pain while walking. It does not show up at any other time, lie after a meal or when i am hungry. I browsed over the internet and found that upper right abdominla pain if often connected to gall stones. I have hypothyroidism and i take 100micrograms of thyronorm every morning. i am also overweight . my height is 5 feet, my age is 32 and my weight is 76kg. please suggest me a possible reason.

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems to me like you got a muscle strain due to over stretching as narrated by you. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief,which could gradually be weaned off once the pain vanishes. To rule out the possibility of a gall stone disease however I would advise you to undergo an ultrasound scanning of your abdomen. Further management would depend on the ultrasound report. You could continue taking Thyronorm tablets as before. A repeat thyroid function test every 3-6 months would be helpful in titrating the dose of Thyronorm for you.

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. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
