What could this be?

I have for the last several months had discomfort just under my right rib cage.  It feels like something is catching or perhap hitting the rib cage.  Some days its very uncomfortable and others its just present.  I never wake up with it, but start to feel it shortly after I eat breakfast. I have been test for Hep and am neg. Anyone have any ideas as what could be up.

Thanks

Have you had your liver evaluated?
Any other symptoms?

Your liver is located there. I'd have some bloodwork done and have them run a hepatic panel to check your liver as well as a full CBC.

Have the doc check out your gallbladder too while he's at it.

Hi,
I have had the same problem for the last year. I am having alot of symptoms and my liver has been checked with an US, CT scan, and blood tests all come back looking good. With that said I do have some form of IBD, since they found ulcers in my colon last summer. Only thing is that my intestines do not bother me at all. I am also looking into endocrine issues now since alot of my symptoms seem to be hormonal.

Are you having any other problems besides the discomfort under your ribcage?

I got an answer yesterday.... I went for an ultrasound and I have gallstones.

after leaning over on the computer or to pick up something from the floor. I feel like something i balding up under my right rib cage and after I straighten up it goes away.

I have been having that discomfort/pain for years.. never had any money to check it out ... got 2 ultrasounds, blood work, urine test, and xrays... NOTHING. So i have to go in tomrrow for a Hida test... Yours is probably your liver or Gallbladder. Even possibly gastritis..
