Hello, Well im 25 year old male and for the past 2 months I have had a pain in my right
side under my rib cage more towards the back than the front. The pain has got me up
in the middle of the nite a few time and I will get up and walk around and it will kinda go away. I can put my finger on exactly weres it coming from, but you cant just stick you finger into my side and make it hurt I have to move my stomach area like you using a hula-hoop and thats when i can feel it. It mostly bothers me the most right when I wake up in the morning and about 11:00 am it is pretty much gone. Also have alot of tenderness in my middle upper back. I know its probaly a torn muscle or something stupid
I just don't understand why it comes and goes and why it hurts more in the morning?And why it wont go away? Any information would be greatly appriciated and any questions for me I will get back right away. Thanks

 Hi volcom426,
Whenever I hear a complaint of right upper quadrant abdominal pain that radiates around the upper back, the first thing that comes to mind is gallbladder dysfunction. If fatty foods, for example,seem to trigger your symptoms then I would be inclined to consider this to be a possible cause. My suggestion would be an evaluation by your physician who will most likely order some diagnostic studies to identify if this is actually your problem.
Sincerely,
Rntdj

Would there be other problems if it was a gallbladder? Thank you for posting

Hi volcom426,
If you are inquiring about other symptoms, generally speaking, signs and symptoms of gallbladder dysfunction may include:
Nausea, vomiting, bloating, upper abdominal pain that feels like it's under the right rib cage, pain that radiates to the back, shoulder, chest. Episodes are usually preceeded by a meal high in fat content, and episodes of stress.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
