CMT4u Thanks for your sharing--

Egoscue Method, Physical Therapy, massage and treatment for a 'possible' ulcer  helped me - also I stopped carrying a heavy purse over my right shoulder. Who knows for sure-- only God! I just praise Him for my being out of my worst pain.

..folks really  should be sure to check out bodywork especially when other things are dead ends...

I could not afford much testing, and well, I don't have a whole lot of faith in conventional medicine today -- they are too specialized and looking at folks from their specialty only not the whole person. The last time I looked all my parts were all connected and when one part hurts the whole body is uncomfortable---

I personally think dehydration might be a factor with myofascial pulling on our muscles and messing with our overall structure.

Lots of considerations-- thanks again for your thoughts!

Wow, you shared a bunch  of good things to consider.
BTW I am almost 60 female and into menopause 2 years.

I was at 56 on my last Vit D test- last year.  But alternative doctors want folks at 70 or 80. I know it is important to ask for the 25 Hydroxy+25OH-D2 Test (Dr. Mercola has lots of good information on this on the web) I was as low as 27 in '08. I supplement and also get little bits of sunlight and like taking cod liver oil in wintertime. I would like to get my levels up!
  Hi rathycodes,

My URQ pain got better at once with Pepcid but help wore off  after a while Plus I think Pepcid and similar OTC or prescription drugs are not healthy and they can cause other problems.

I was finally helped (over 1 year) with remedies for ulcer, Egoscue Method bodywork, Chiropractor and massage visit and physical therapy.

Will talk to my "Alternative" friendly Endocrinologist- I am hypothyroid and am wondering about the thoughts you shared...

In the 90s I had blood transfusions and 6 months later was told I had Hep C. I have pain in my upper right quadrant where my liver is located. I did a year of interferon for the Hep C, cuz my liver counts started rising, the treatments were successful. I'm having the pains again so I am wondering if my Hep C is back. I will have liver function test ran in Augsust.

Somewhere below in these comments, someone posted something about Flaxseed Oil and boiling it and taking a few swigs of the stuff each day. I didn''t have the time yesterday to do that, so I bought a bottle of Flaxseed Oil Gel Caps. I took 2 caps 3 times yesterday and I already noticed a difference this morning. Dr's don't know diddly - just read these postings about how many people have had procedures that did nothing !

Thanks for this idea: very similar symptoms! And, I am lactose intolerant, so this makes a lot of sense. I've had all sorts of tests, all sorts of meds, nothing helps much. Will check it out - NAN

It is Aug of 2012 as I write this and I have now been pain free eight months from the Upper Right Quadrant pain that I had had for 1 1/2 years prior.

I am still studying my health and believe that I reacted to Nightshade Foods (some of nightshades are Potato, Eggplant, Tomatoes and Peppers). I had become a vegetarian 6 months before my pain began and I had been eating a lot of these. And I was taking a bunch of herbals that had cayenne pepper in them. I believe I developed an ulcer from the peppers and the tomatoes. I was on a protocol to heal my ulcer for about 6 months and I know that was a big healing factor, but I was also helped when I gave up gluten and when I did Egoscue body work. If you go though my posts you will see all the things I tried.

I hope my experience with this pain helps someone else. I was one of the worst pains I have ever had and I cried myself to sleep many nights.

On the plus side my health quest has yielded many great lifestyle changes and most importantly my spiritual life excelled.

Just to let the guys know - look up Epididymitis on Wiki if you ever have sore testicles combined with pain radiating into the abdomen - the vas deferens can get infected when the little check valve that is supposed to stay shut when urine passes through fails slightly - I had this happen during a hockey game - I am in my 40s and thought I either had a groin pull or hernia - it suffered for a couple years with that on again off again dull pain - turns out the only "doctor" that could figure it out was the PA at work (former military) that suggested an infection - it took the second treatment of antibiotics to cure it but it worked -

Did you get your tests run? Jackie 01333

With me I decided to test eating gluten and see how that feels - I have felt URQ discomfort but so far  (one a few times days apart) no way near what I had at its worst--
for me I think I had an ulcer caused by nightshades and gluten-- This is just a strange theory so I am still trying to sort it out.  It was so very painful and I dealt with it 1 1/2 years. I never want to go there again, will avoid nightshades and most gluten to be careful.

Because of  faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and serious study of the Word of God I am coping  with life stresses so much better and my system is more alkaline (Stress is very acid to the body).  And I also  think that and Earthing, grounding, (going barefoot on my walks)  has been healing.

Faith Alone in The Lord Jesus Christ Alone has healing for now and eternity and natural things like checking reactions to foods, getting the body into a more alkaline state and going barefoot are safe, simple and Free.

I know you posted awhile ago but I am having the same symptoms. Have you ever heard of pheochromocytoma. This may help.

Off and on for 13 years I would episode that were not painful--that overrode my darvocetN--I would just get extreme bloating right below my  ribcage. The first one happened 1996, I couldn't vomit, no diarrhea, just like something was blowing up my ribs.  After hour-or so-, I broke out in extreme sweat.
And then I was fine, except little tummy distress.  Six months later same thing, but of lesser endurance.  Every 18-24 months I would have these episodes. I just became diabetic, but all over excellent health..on heart healthy diet, lost weight-40 lbs, etc.  In 2009 I had one of these episodes and went to emergency room.  I had a gallbladder attack, with possible pancreas involvement. Given antibiotics for 8 days then had laproscopy.
Test shows stone, crystals, sludge.  After surgery, I had extreme diarrhea, no matter what I ate, but then at same time prior to the surgery I had had a total knee replacement...so my antibiotic level was on overload..steriods, biotics, herparin, etc.  I ate some yogurt--good for gut, and went on with life..Ate anything I wanted. Also have had 3 colonscopies within 15 years..negative.  I never had PAIN, vomiting, diarrhea with my gallbladder.  My liver enzymes were up before, Now all
my lipids, TSH and heart readings are normal.
My paternal grandmother, father, and now me have had gallbladder problems, grandmother died from it, but back in 1945-1948, screenings,
CATs, MRI didn't exist.

I have just completed one of the most agonising weeks in my life.Like many other posters on this site, i have been plagued by URQ discomfort also accompanied by upper stomach discomfort, bloating, belching and loss of appetite.Its sad to say but at some point i began to suspect the worst.The doctors i first saw thought nothing of it and prescribed antacids.They did not work.After doing numerous blood work I got fed up and saw another doctor who referred me to an Gastro who told me that he would not comment until I had an endoscopy done.It was done.Almost everything was negative save for some slight irritation.That was a breath of fresh air thank God! I now have tonnes of medication just to deal with the symptoms.For all those undergoing the same, take heart.

The burning sensation is exactly like mine!!! Yay! Mayo says it's more than likely a chronic muscle injury due to incorrect weight-lifting movements.....I'm guessing you lift free weights to improve your upper body. Get someone to watch your technique to see if you're doing it correctly...otherwise, dunno....

I am 62..and am in the forum of indentions on my head, neurology. I too live in florida..where there are plenty of chemtrails. Here is what I found:'ve been on this forum for several months..I think we all have morgellons ...which includes Nanno Technology parasites. There are 10's of Thousands of children and adults afflicted with this new unresearched or undiscovered affiction. I have been treated this last few weeks and am getting much better. My doc doesn't have all the answers ...but a blood test with the microscope showed all the parasites. If any one has questions, I will give them information. Our doctors are not familiar with Nanno Technology parasites...they are being used to kill the real bugs, pests in corn, cotton and wheat fields...all over the world and can nest in the cotton clothing...you can breath them into your nose...they look like a piece of pepper and very very tiny. But they can bite..kind of like a tiny dart....They link together with fibers inside your body, kink of like the picture below of "new gene discoveries". They are a cross between Garden "scabies and spidersWEBS" I think they come from Chemtrails. This is an assault on Humanity, animals and mother nature...

I have right side pain for past 2 years. Had my gallbladder out, still pain. Had an angiolipoma on my rib cage just about bra line right side, had that removed still pain. Came down with cdiff from antibiotic use and pain got worse. Very hard to get rid of but also prevalent in our community. Now on flagile, vancomycin taper and lots of benibiotic probiotic. When pain is better, cdiff symptoms are better. Never really gone. I've come to associate pain getting worse as cdiff coming back. Ulcerative colitis, inflammation of the colon causes pain. Feels like someone pushing on my rib from inside. Even painful to touch on outside, not as bad. Only way to know is cdiff stool test. Took doctors almost a year to do the test. Btw, acid rescuers for stomach make cdiff worse as stomach acid helps keep cdiff in check. You can get it from community or taking antibiotics, kills natural flora in colon.

I too have had under the right rib pain for several years. Sometimes it makes me nausious. The pain spreads across my mid-section under my ribs and makes me bloated. Hurts. Dr. put me on Omeprazole. I take it for about 14 days then go off. It is still tickling me though up under that right rib. Mother and her Mother had their gallbladder out. I don't have stones, but have not been tested to see how it is squirting. Guess that's my next test. Ugh!!!!
