Pain under and around Right rib

[cavanho]

I have had pain for almost a month. It started in my lower back then went to under my ribs. The right side at my ribs hurts the most. Lately ever time I eat I get a knott (spasm) in the middle of my ribs at my stomach. I have had a Cat scan, blood work, pelvic ultrasound, ultra sound of my kidneys and there is nothing abnormal. I know there is something wrong. I wouldnt have pain, other wise. Sometimes I will get sharp pains after eating and I have to wait a few seconds and then it goes away.
Anyone got any thoughts....  I will probably have to find another doctor....

I am going through the same things right now......have you had any luck getting answers.  I've been to 2 family doctors and 2 surgeons now......

it may be the rectus abdominus muscles. You can strain them really easily and they can spasm relentlessly. symptoms include: Nausea, vomiting, weight loss,Diarrhea, constipation or change in bowel habits, Pain not made better or worse by eating or bowel movements, Jaundice or other liver function test abnormalities, Bleeding or anemia, Fever. Unbelievable huh?... I am a slim, active person but have been sore for a year - not knowing how I have done this originally. The specialist has injected the area with a local anesthetic and in a couple of weeks will inject some steroids so as to stop the muscles spasming if they havent already. Hope this helps. I too had just been through exhaustive tests - CT scan, ultrasound, endoscopy and colonoscopy with everything normal. For a year I have had a constant pain under my right rib. aggravated whether I eat or not, whether Im sitting still or moving. However bending over to pick things up made it worse.

If is seems to come on after eating, maybe its diverticulitus(?)
Hope you feel better soon,
