Right Side Discomfort

[congahead911]

Hello - I have had a mild discomfort in my upper right abdomen.

I am a 29 year old male from Australia.

It is a fairly constant sensation but not overly painful, just discomforting.

I have had the following tests:

Blood Test - Normal
Abdominal Ultra Sound - Normal
10 weeks of Physio for rib subluxation - didn't fix it
CT scan - nothing found
Xray - Nothing found
Bone Scan - Nothing
aother CT at the bone scanning place found nothing.

I've tried so many things and am depressed and frustrated about this. Can anyone offer any guidence?

The discomfort is best described as being mild but constant. I feel like something under the right side rib cage is "pushing" on something.

Any ideas????

thanks

hello. many thanks for your replay.

would it be normal to have muscle pain in that area for 10 months or so?

how would i determine this is it?

Hi,
Right sided pain could be ulcer pain, gallbladder pain, liver pain or even muscle pain.
USG has ruled ot GB and liver pain.
An upper GI endoscopy can be done to look for ulcer. But ulcer pain is usually not constant and is influenced by many factors like food intake.
