If it hurts near your rib cage on the right side it could be your gall bladder.  I kept having sharp pains and finally went to the dr.  I have since had my gall bladder removed and I don't have the pains anymore.  So, if it persists go to your dr. don't wait too long though.

The cause of abdominal problems can be hard to pinpoint. Sometimes minor and serious abdominal problems start with the same symptoms. Fortunately, most abdominal problems are minor, and home treatment is all that is needed.\n\nMany times the exact cause of abdominal pain is difficult to determine. The severity of your pain, its location, and other symptoms you have may help determine what is causing the pain.\n\n    * Generalized pain occurs in half of the abdomen or more. Generalized pain can occur with many different illnesses and will usually go away without medical treatment. Indigestion and the stomach flu are common problems that can cause generalized abdominal pain. Home treatment may help relieve some of the discomfort. Generalized mild pain or crampy pain that becomes more severe over several hours may be a symptom of a blockage of the intestines (bowel obstruction).\n    * Localized pain is located in one area of the abdomen. Localized pain that comes on suddenly and is getting worse is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. The pain of appendicitis may start as generalized pain but often localizes to one area of the abdomen. The pain from gallbladder disease or peptic ulcer disease often starts in one area of the abdomen and remains in the same location. Localized pain that gradually becomes more severe may be a symptom of inflammation of an abdominal organ.\n    * Cramping, which can be very painful, is rarely serious if it is relieved by passing gas or a stool. Many women have cramping pain with their periods. Unless it gets worse, lasts for longer than 24 hours, or localizes, generalized cramping pain is usually not cause for concern. Cramping that starts suddenly with diarrhea or other minor health problems can be quite painful but is usually not serious.\n\nOccasionally, severe pain that develops suddenly may be a symptom of rupture of the stomach or intestines (perforation), torsion of the testicle or ovary, a kidney stone, gallbladder disease, or blood flow problems. The pain caused by appendicitis or gallbladder disease may increase with movement or coughing. Pain that increases with movement or coughing and does not appear to be caused by strained muscles is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem. A visit to a health professional is usually needed when severe abdominal pain comes on suddenly, or new and different mild pain slowly becomes more severe over several hours or days.\n\nAfter a minor abdominal injury, pain, nausea, or vomiting may occur but usually improves in a few minutes. Pain and other symptoms that continue, increase, or develop following an injury may mean an abdominal organ has been damaged.\n\nMany medications can cause abdominal pain. Some medications also cause side effects, such as constipation, that can make abdominal pain worse.\n\nReview the Emergencies and Check Your Symptoms sections to determine if and when you need to see a health professional.

There are two possible causes for the sore to occur at your right \nshoulder blade area. \nThe first cause is due to the heavy load which you carry on your\nright shoulder which has strained or injured the muscles;\nThe second could be a 'pinched nerve' which runs from the\nneck to shoulder to arm and hand. This nerve which is 'trapped'\ncould cause extreme pain to the shoulder.\nIn any case, it's best you seek a doctor who is a neurologist physician - he's the right person to help you.

This is not an easy question to answer because a "stomach ache" can be a very complex problem:\n\nBefore you can talk about getting rid of a stomach ache, it's important to address the following questions:\n\n-Is it really your stomach that is aching or is it another part of you gastrointestinal tract?\n-What is the source/cause of the aching (after a meal, certain foods, stress, etc)?\n-How does the stomach ache 'feel' (tight, bloated, burning) and how bad is the ache?\n-How long does it last? \n-Are there other issues (lactose intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, gallstones, ulcers, etc)? \n\nFirst, talk to you physician. It may be as simple as taking an antacid and drinking enough water and getting enough sleep.  Or the doctor may recommend some further tests to see if it's more than just some simple indigestion.\n\nGood luck with getting rid of your tummy ache!\n:)

could be tight muscles.  There is a 'corset' of muscles that supports your spine but also makes up your abdomen.  IF those muscles get tight near the spine, she may feel a pulling sensation.\nOr, could be a hernia.\nShe should go to MD.

You need to be more specific about your symptoms.\n\nWhere in your abdomen is the pain? Upper, lower, middle, right, left, center? Is it a radiating pain, or a constant, unchanging one?  Are you vomiting?  How does your head feel?  Fever?  Are there pains anywhere else, like your back or rectum area?\n\n\nCould be appendicitis, gallbladder attack, pancreatitis, or other things.  For any of the above three, you must go to hospital asap.  Appendicitis and pancreatitis can be and are deadly sometimes.

It would help if you could describe the pain more.  First - sharp or dull?  Second - (after eating) is it constant/relentless or does it come & go in waves?\nDo some foods tend to cause the pain more often than others?  In particular, have you ever noticed that fatty foods like pizza or hamburgers are worse than others?  \nIt really does sound like its either gallstones or ulcers (prob duodenal) as mentioned above.  If you notice a pattern with fatty foods, its more likely gallstones.  If antacids help, it may be ulcers.  Do you have heartburn?  \nDo you have any jaundice or yellowing of your skin or eyes?\nDo you remember what "gallbladder test" was done?  A sonogram and check of liver enzymes would be a good start.   If you had them done at a time you had no symptoms, its conceivable that you passed your stone and no longer had any irritation or remaining stones.  \nTALK ABOUT THIS WITH YOUR DOCTOR.  You've been having symptoms for a few years now - something needs to be done.  These are usually relatively harmless (the discomfort aside), but if it simmers for too long untreated, more serious complications can potentially develop.\n\nProblems less likely based on your description, but possible:\nChronic Pancreatitis\nChronic Hepatitis

Pain on the right side can be a variety of things, only a CT-scan will get to the root cause.  Kidney stones can give you pain on the affected side and they start on your lower back and then radiate to you bladder, this is due to the stone making its way down the ureters (tubes that carry pee to bladder);  Kidney stones less than 5mm are usually passed in the urine.  Pain in that area lower part of your abdomen on the right side could be appendicitis, this will usually be accompanied  by nausea and vomiting and at times fevers, very dangerous and needs immediate attention.  Stress also causes pain in the abdomen, if your a female it could be an ovarian cyst, very painful.  It could also be musculoskelatal pain from a strain in that area.  The two biggest causes of pain in that area are kidney stones and appendicitis.  What ever it is I think you have no choice but seeing a doctor, go to a county hospital if you have no insurance.  Hope you get better.

I agree with coccanut it could be a sign of infection or appenditcis, you need to get it checked out immediately. When you push on it do you feel pain? \n\nInformation on the appendix:\n\nThe appendix is a small finger-like pouch that protrudes from the large intestine. Appendicitis, which is most common in people ages 5 to 30, is generally caused by an obstruction that leads to inflammation of the appendix. There are no particular risk factors for appenditicis. It is not preventable, so early detection is very important. \n .   Watch for signs of pain and/or tenderness in the navel area that moves towards the lower right of the abdomen over the course of a few hours. The pain is often described as severe and sharp and worsens with any movement.  \n  \n2.   Take your temperature - a low grade fever may be a sign of inflammation and infection, a possible sign of appendicitis.  \n3.   Watch for signs of nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.  \n  \n4.   Call your health care provider if you exhibit any and/or all of these signs and symptoms. If you are unable to reach your health care provider, go directly to the nearest emergency facility.  \n  \nP>S> Footnote : I'm not a doctor nor do I claim to have any knowledge, but the high bilirubin could also be gallbladder you really need to go asap to a walk in clinic or a hospital. \n\nI hope this helps

Could be a bladder infection leading to a kidney infection.  If its really bad, it could be appendicitis.  Sorry for the spelling.  It could be from where youve ever done yourself.  If you feel like it may be something bad, then by all means see your physician.

Well it definately sounds like you have high anxiety, Yes, anxiety attacks can feel like a heart attack, the sore jaw, probably from grinding your teeth in your sleep or when you are mad/stressed.  Anxiety can also cause high stomach acid. the only other thing I can think of is gall bladder problems. I would suggest seeing a doctor ASAP... Because weather it is anxiety or somethuing worse. you should still get it checked! Good Luck

The symptoms of having your appendix taken out or the symptoms of appendicitis?  \n\n"The main symptom of appendicitis is pain that typically begins around the navel and then shifts to the lower right abdomen. The pain of appendicitis usually increases over a period of six to 12 hours, and eventually may become very severe."

It could be a hernia or something like that. Or it could just be muscle pain. I would see your doctor to make sure that there is nothing serious going on.
