I have had tenderness on the skin of my upper right abdomen, around my side and to my back stopping at my spine. This has last for about a week. There is no visible sign of a rash. I have occasional tightness in this general area as well. I am 28, 5 8 , 170lbs and in general good health. What could be causing this?
