pain under right rib cage

[kitekate]

I have had pain on and off under right rib cage for 6 months and also suffer from acidy in stomach.  Blood tests show raised inflammation but liver function ok. A scan ruled out liver, kidney and gall bladder problems.  My GP now suggests a muscular problem but the pain is usually worse when I am resting

Sounds like gallbadder, you can have a bad gallbadder without having stones, if you had a ultrasound, all it looks for are stones. You need to have a Hida Scan. I had the an ultrasound that showed nothing,went for a Hida Scan & it showed that my gallbadder was working at less then 5%. It had to come out. Good Luck !

Have you been in an accident or had a severe cough before the pain started? I went through a similar thing.  Pain in the upper right quadrant that was worse when liing down.  My GP thought I was having gal bladder issues as well and odered all the tests which came back negative.  He referred me to a GI who suggested a dislocated rib as a result of severe cough.  

A pain management dr referred me to a physical therapist who specializes in spinal related injuries and uses a unique treatment that combines chiropractic care with pt.  I am now pain free until I have a bout of bronchitis and pop the silly thing back out.  

Just a thought to consider.
