Common Questions and Answers about Stomach pain in right upper quadrant

Avatar n tn Besides the liver, the pancreas stretches from the right upper to left upper quadrant and the pain is usually felt deep as your describing. Ask your Dr. to check for pancreatitis. Stomach issues also cause URQ pain such as Gastritis, Peptic Ulcers, and Gastroenteritis. Ask for an H-Pilory breath test to rule that out. Are there any other symptoms other than pain? Do you experience nausea ? Does it get worse with eating? A little more description will help rule out things.
Avatar f tn The liver, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas and lung disease can all radiate pain in the upper right quadrant. Upper right quadrant pain should not be ignored, since it can indicate serious disease. Make an appointment to see your gastroenterologist to diagnose the cause of the pain. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I have been having pain in the right upper quadrant since my gallbladder was removed in November 2005. It is hard for me to lay on my stomach also without pain. But I can have pain without any pressure there also. What could be casing it?. The pain seems to be under the ribs. Past history: uterus out in 2004; kidney stone removal (surgically) in Dec 2005 (about 6 weeks after the gallbladder came out) and then an oopherectomy in Jan 2006.
Avatar n tn Did you mean you have pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen? Right upper quadrant pain and white stool could indicate disorders in the liver or gall bladder. If you have jaundice then it could point towards an obstructive disorder like gall stones. The other causes for pain could be GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach came up into the esophagus and peptic ulcer disease.
Avatar f tn I am 35 years old and for the last 4 months I have been having Right Upper Quadrant Pain right under my rib. The pain is sharp that has now become constant. It's now causing me difficulty sleeping on my stomach. When I saw my PCP, she felt on physical exam that my liver was enlarged, I had an ultrasound that day, which was negative. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy which was negative, I have also had a battery of lab tests that were negative.

Avatar f tn Off and on for a couple of months now I've been having this pain in my upper right quadrant, sometime to the right of my navel, and most times just "under" my ribs on the right side. In June I had an endoscopy which revealed mild esphogitis and mild gastritis, and a hiatal hernia. (At that time it all started witha horrible bloated feeling all the time.) So, the gastro doc thought he had the answer.
Avatar n tn In the meantime, pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen can indicate a problem with your gallbladder. You might notice that your symptoms are worse with a large, fat-laden meal in that case. Whatever it is, it's time to see your doctor.

711171 tn?1245941848 Then in about October/ November of I started having abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant which shoots up into my right shoulder. I had my gallbladder out in 2000, so I knew it wasn't that. I have had every scan, blood test, ultrasound known to man. I was referred to a doctor at MUSC that specializes in digestive diseases. I have been going down there for over a year now and still have no answers.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your comments but gallbladder is right upper quadrant my pain is in the lower right quadrant.
Avatar m tn Many people have right upper quadrant pain that can be associated with stomach issues, gallbladder issues or problems that result from discomfort with a portion of the ascending colon/transverse colon.
Avatar f tn i have a pain in my upper right quadrant, it feels like right below my ribs. and when i get this pain it's usually right after eating or especially when its really greasy foods. now i've been having these pains off and on for a while, almost a year. and when it gets too uncomfortable at times, i massage the area, which relieves it alittle, but never completely goes away. when i feel around, i've noticed little lumps, and when i apply pressure, it pains right on the lump.
Avatar f tn I just had my gallbladder removed about 3 weeks ago and had right upper quadrant pain/cramping/a fullness or bloated feeling with occasional back pain. I had a gallbladder ultrasound done that showed nothing but then they done something called a Hida scan that showed my gallbladder had only a 16% ejection fraction. I believe 30% or so is normal. When the surgeon removed my GB he said that I had a chronically infected GB that had been causing my problems. Ask them if they will do a Hida scan.
Avatar f tn nearly a month ago, I started having the same pain in my upper right quadrant which radiates to below my right shoulder blade. I had a CAT scan this past week after my doctor suspected my gallbladder yet again. Results: NOTHING except that I still have a small hiatal hernia and an accessory spleen. Neither one explains my pain. She then ordered bloodwork which is not back yet. The pain is accompanied by bloating, indigestion, tenderness, slight nausea, loss of appetite (at times).
Avatar f tn My 12 year old son has been having pain in his upper left quadrant of his stomach,under the rib cage. We went to hospital and they mentioned it was his bowels backed up in the intestines. Weeks later and he started having these pains again, so i was given him a gas reliever as they told me to give him. He is still having these pains with black stool,headache and sore throat. what type of test should I request and what could be wrong?
225237 tn?1333138999 For the past few days I have been having this weird feeling in my upper left quadrant, almost right under my left rib. I don't have any pain at all!!! It kind of feels like bubbling inside or a little movement. No way I am pregnant either!!! I have noticed that my stomach is a little bloated as well but I just finished my menstrual cycle so figured that was the cause of the bloating. I just feel really dumb asking anyone about this because I have no clue what it could be.
Avatar n tn Hello, Gastritis can cause pain in the upper abdomen after eating .Peptic ulcer disease causes upper left quadrant pain that usually begins 2 hours after a meal. It gets better with over the counter antacids. Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods.
Avatar f tn i'm having pain in the upper right quadrant and around to my back it wakes me up in the middle of the night. i don't have the symptoms all the time just once or twice a month. i was wondering what is causing this and do i need to see a doctor?
Avatar n tn I went to my Doctor and they did an ultra sound of my organs (upper right quadrant) and all is normal. Do you suggest that I get a CT scan of the area to check my bowels? My bowels are very regular (once a day). Another thing that I noticed is a burning sensation up in my rectum (although this doesn't happen often) Any idea of what this could be?
Avatar f tn Now have less diarrhea and bloating symptoms- but have right upper quadrant pain- dull, aching, radiates to back. Normal ultrasound of the area makes my gastroenterologist think it is a combo of a muscle strain and IBS. Do think it’s worse after having a glass of wine (1-2 times a week). Could this be a sign of something more serious? I think I had a similar issue years ago. Thank you for any input!
