male with dull pain in right side of tummy

[maddypoppy]

my husband is at the moment complaining of a dull pain on the right hand side of his tummy
he is never sick he is over weight and has a few week end drinks i have heard it could be a liver problem
but to be honest he doesnt drink that much, just wondering could it be anything else, he is 37yrs old
many thanks in advance xx

my husband had kidney stones a few years ago.  His started out w/just a dulling pain in his side.  It didn't take long for the pain to worsen.  We ended up in the er.  Maybe this will help.

If it was liver pain, it would probably be worse, if you press strongly with tips of fingers of both hands on area under the left rib cage. The next thought is gallbladder - pain would be much more localized, on the middle of the left part there, and much stronger on pressure. This gallbladder pain would be worse after fatty meals.
