I have mild to moderate pain in the upper right quadrant of my chest that goes through to my back when I lie down. It usually lasts several minutes and goes away if I shift positions. When I return to lying on my back, sometimes the pain returns and sometimes it does not. I was at the drs. about a month ago for a persistent cough and blood work was for the most part good. A chest x-ray was done and the result overall lungs appeared fairly clear, but report reads in part, There appears to be an area of scarring. A subtle density projects along the anterior margin of the first right rib.
