Discomfort and pressure under right ribcage towards center at liver

This has been going on for over a month now. Some days its a little better and some days its worse. I dont really have any pain. Just an annoying discomfort below my right ribcage towards the center. It feels full and a good amount of pressure. Sometimes it gets worse after eating a lot.
I have had blood tests, an ultrasound, a CT scan but the doctors said everything came back fine.
It just wont go away. PLEASE i will take any advice!
My GI doctor wants me to do a colonoscopy but i dont think that is where the problem lies.

Reminds me of gallstones which can sometimes not show on scans. Especially the part where u say it is worse after eating. Do you have a family history of gallstones? I would have thought an endoscopy would be more appropriate. I am no doctor though but do know that there could be many causes for pain in this location. Perhaps you could ask your GP what they think of that idea? Gallstones don't always show up on scans especially "sludge". Alternatively see another GP.

Good luck with it and please do get it investigated further.
