Pain?

[LeahMM]

Coming from the heartburn queen, I would say that is what is ailing you. I do advise you to see a doctor if it doesn't subside within a reasonable amount of time.

I am also a heartburn sufferer having Gastric reflux disease, for me personally the burning sensation is not where you describe at all, mine is in the middle, it sounds more like a gallbladder thing to me,(i cannot remember which side it is for sure though) but I think it is the right if my memory does not fail me ,appendix is way lower down I think, but you should really just go to a Doctor and find out for sure, if you think it is heartburn try some over the counter antacids, if it does not improve , then it is not that or more like GRD which does not respond to antacids,hope you feel better soon, pain is not a nice experience.

Acid reflux or heartburn or gas. Try Pepcid or some other OTC. Are you eating something unusual? That'll be $75. I don't take insurance.

The check is in the mail.

Carole, it doesn't feel like heartburn to me either, but anything's possible I guess.

I always thought a bad gallbladder came with other symptoms.

[NoahsMommy]

Your gallbladder is in the middle and sounds like its higher than where your pain is.

Does your pain get worse or better after eating?? (yes = is an organ issue)

If it hurts when you move, not when eating or laying down, it sounds like you've injured something...or it could be gas pain.

Do you ever have any reflux symptoms??

If it extends past the weekend, I'd suggest a trip to your doc's office as well.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hugs, Kelly

Does it hurt when you take in a deep breath? I have had pleuresy (sorry I don't know how to spell it) twice and that was right under the rib cage. Don't let this drag on. Sometime just scheduling an appointment with the doctor will be enough to cure it.

Sounds similar to what I'm giong through - similar symptoms: Pain on the right side, just under my ribs. I've gone through an ultrasound, CT scan, blood tests for liver function and all came back normal. The pain has continued so this past week my doctor ordered chest and rib X-rays and I'll get the results on Monday.

If those are normal, my next step is to go back to my plastic surgeon as that's the side where I have the breast reconstruction after a mastectomy for breast cancer. I'm just hoping the cancer hasn't returned. I just want the pain to stop!

Get it checked out - you may learn that it's just gas, but you won't know if you don't ask.

$75.00 is ALL????

When can I make an appointment?
