What Causes Soreness When I Palpate On Right Side Of Body?
when I palpate on right side of body, near base of ribcage, there is something that elongated (horizontally) that feels bubbly. when I run my fingers along the length of it, it is sore. I am highwaisted so it would be around the top of the waist... what could it be & should I see a doc for it?

Hello,
You are suffering from soreness near the base of your right rib cage. You can palpate it and have discomfort. Your symptoms may be indicative of liver related problems like hepatomegaly, hepatitis, liver trauma, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease, liver abscess, cholecystitis, gall stones, colon problems, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get blood tests, urinalysis, blood for bile / bilirubin done, liver function tests done.
Treatment will depend on the pathology causing you symptoms, you will be accordingly given conservative treatment, physical therapy and recommended surgery if required. You are suggested to switch to eating home made nutritious boiled food. Avoid taking fried, oily, junk food. Trans fat, full fat dairy products, alcohol, refined flour, trans fat, etc. Take well cooked whole cereals, veggies, fruits, lean meat, small fish, etc. Stay away from addictions if any. You can take food cooked in olive oil.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
