I am having right side abdominal pain for 10 years now.. Dr could not find out what it is, and finally an extra came back and said that I had gall stones... Had my gall bladder removed and after 6 weeks, the pain returned.. My pain starts or is under my ribs, but radiates into my back, directly in the same spot, but the back instead.. this is driving me nuts... It feels like I have something swollen inside my body.. I have a hard time sitting up because of it at times, and feel most comforterable standing of laying down to stretch the abdominal out.. I am at a loss.. Dr is tryin me on Nexium to see if it could possibly be stomach acid.. I apparantly have GERD and IBS.. which I have a hard time believing as I never seem to have symptoms of either of them.. I am 54 and a woman.. no surgeries before gall bladder.. I am at a loss..
