Upper Right Abdominal Pain
I am a 29 year old woman and have been having pain in my upper right abdomen, on and off for a few months now. Every now and then, I will feel a little nausea, but I have no symptoms otherwise. I have no problems eating, exercising, etc. I have been to the doctor several times. They have tested me for asthma, RA, did an x-ray of my ribcage, did a liver function blood test, etc. Every test has come back as normal. What could be the possible cause of my pain?

Hello,
Upper right abdominal pain can be caused by biliary colic, cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis(inflammation of the liver), kidney stones, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, lower rib fracture and malignancy. Irritation of the nerves supplying this area can also cause pain. Irritation can be due to nerve compression or pinching due to any spine related pathology.
In females, ovarian cysts can also cause pain in abdomen usually in lower part but it can be a referred pain in upper abdomen also. So ovarian cysts also have to be ruled out.
Confirmation can be done only after ultrasound or CT abdomen. Blood tests may also be required in some cases.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
