Extreme right side pain under my rib cage

I had Pancreatits due to a bad Gall Bladder a year ago.  Since then I have been pretty healthy until recently.  About 8 weeks ago I started getting these severe pains in my right side under my rib cage.  When I take a deep breath it is like someone is stabbing me.  I have no fever and this pain is re-occuring.  Some days I am fine, others I can't move.  I have been to the emergency room twice.  The first time they told me my liver enzymes were real high but there was no sign of pancreatits and they sent me home with pain killers.  The second time they did and ultra sound, found nothing, and again sent me home on pain killers.  Has this happened to anyone?  I am scared but tired of going to the ER to be told to go home and rest.

I believe you might have gas in your larger or smaller intestine. I will slowly relieve itself after a why. To make sure if you actually have gas pains, push in that areas and see if there is a gurgling noise and release of pain. Then you will be fine after a couple forceful pushes. I am having pains under my right ribcage, but no surgery to diagnose the problem. Although, I am having gas pains, but it is in the wrong place for gas pains. The only affective daily activities that it triggers pain with is breathing and sleeping. So I have difficulty getting the average 8 hour sleep before I cleave to work at 6:53am.

It's not much to speak of, bu the pain is slowly increasing. Some days it's not as bad as others, body moving that one area creates a dull pain. It all started on Monday, and it is currently now Wednesday, which might go on through the week. On the 5 day, I will go into the doctors before panicking. My mother said that I must leave it for a few days before issuing a visit to a professional.  So I am going to hold it off by the 5th day, as said. If anyone has experienced this pain before, as in every other comment/reply, please diagnose my issues.

My mother gave me a few suggestions on what it might be, Growing Pains, Gas Pains, or Misc. Which I would have to go with Misc.

I think the pain I have as well is muscle/bone related. It usually comes on with some stretching movement I make and  goes away after a few minutes, but is sticking around this time. Thanks for sharing.

Help!!  I have been to two drs. so far.  I have a stabbing pain in the right side of my back whenever I am up on my feet for a while. I noticed this a couple of months ago when I was on my two mile walk, by the time I was finishing up, my right back side felt like a knife was gouging me. Also I feel like gas or air is trying to escape through my throat as I breath so I make myself belch to relieve the pressure. Also It hurts to lay on my right side at night.  The dr. is currently treating my for skelitor and muscle soreness, but the meds ar not helping. I have had a endoscopy and gullbladder ultrasound and they found nothing. Any advice???????
