Hello. I am a 35 yr old female, have had 2 children (c-section) and a hysterectomy. I am a bit overweight, approx. 40 pounds. I have been diagnosed in the past with stomach ulcers. Most recently (January) I had severe right side (2-3" below the ribs), I went to the Dr. assuming I had an appendicitis, well it seems I didn’t. He ran tests and did an ultra sound, my stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney and appendix were all fine, however he did say that I showed signs of moderate fatty liver disease. Recently, (last week) I started having the same pain in my side, it was severe last weekend and hurt worse with movement. I took it easy, what what I ate (when I did) and it has gradually gotton better, (is still a dull, constant, aching pain), however in addition to it now I have SEVERE heartburn after I eat/drink anything. I have a horrible taste in my mouth, my stomache, chest and throat burns, I still have the pain in my side as well. Antacids don’t help, bland diet didn’t help, water didn’t, Aciflex meds didn’t help. I am in pain and am not sure what else this could be. I know I should see a gastroenterologist, but I am not eligible for insurance for another month. I know there are such things as gall stones, acid reflux, GERD, ulcers, etc. But does anyone have any educated idea as to what this is and should I be extremely concerned or should I hold out a few more weeks until the insurance kicks in and I can see a professional. My quack of a Dr. doesn’t seem to help me much, anyone out there with the same symptoms and a diagnosis, and Dr’s out there with suggestions. Thanks for any help!!!

I believe that ive got a kidney stone, i called the pharmacy and they told me that fioricet does not cause kidney pain, since im having radiating pain under my ribs, all things see, to point to a kidney stone, wat do i need to do to have it pass, how long will it take to get from my kidney down to passing out my urine, what kind of medications to they use and what should i do at this point, its not extremely painful yet maybe only a 3 out of 10.

I am 30 weeks pregnant. I told my obgyn over a month ago that I was having severe abdominal pain under my right rib. She told me it was likely my gallbladder and to adjust my diet and follow up in 30 days. Well my pain had actually gotten worse after I changed my diet. I ended up in the urgent care where as much of an abdominal ultrasound that could be performed was. After 8 hours and a ton of blood samples accidentally from my artery none the less they were inconclusive as to where my pain was coming from because they had limited vision from my daugheters positioning. They did how ever find some "good sized" kidney stones. Now, I know that is not the pain I am suffering from, although I am anticipation the passage of those suckers any day now. I have increased my fluid intake to over 2 gallons of cranberry and water a day. Try that for a week then talk to me about being uncomfortable… The doctor did not eliminate gallbladder disease, he said I needed to see a specialist and have a more complete ultrasound performed. Little did I know, a urologist wont come near me because of my pregnancy. I am in unbelievable amounts of pain. I was told the baby is more than fine and as long as I can tolerate the pain under my ribs I will be ok. Well guess what. I cant take it anymore!!! It hurts all the time! Im scared to stretch because it kills me, I cant eat because I have no room and it causes sharp burning pains. Im scared its going to rupture. Is there anyone who knows what I can do? I appreciate consolation but I need some serious advice!!!

Can you get it on your sides or is it ONLY lower back? How close to your ribs is it? Is it near those two dents above your tailbone on your back?

Describe with relation to the stuff that I can’t possibly not know where it is please so I know? Thanks <3
