What Does Pain In The Upper Abdomen On The Right Side Indicate?
My 82 year old mother otherwise healthy mother had sudden onset right upper quadrant pain lasting 2 hours this afternoon. She said it felt like a spasm of her colon and was the size and firmness of a golf ball until it subsided spontaneously. GommaShe is lactose intolerant and had only had coconut milk to drink before the onset of symptoms. Any thoughts?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
An abdominal ultrasound is needed to rule out a gallbladder stone.
At these ages it is the most common cause of the upper abdominal pain.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
