Hello, I was going to suggest that you seek a different opinion which is what you are doing.  My son was fobbed off by our gp surgery for over a year turned away from a&e twice and I urge you not to accept lacklustre response, you need to have a colonoscopy at the very least so that you can hopefully put your mind to rest.  Sending you good thoughts and hope the festive season is all that you would want it to be

Thanks for your reply Leslie. And sorry to hear about

your son. Do you mind sharing his story? Symptoms etc. It is a worry when you're told you're too young and you don't want to be a hypochondriac but are really worried. 

Hi everyone,

I thought I would post as I am having horrendous right sided back rib pain and am very worried about it. 

I've had scans, bloods, endoscopy and all came back clear apart from a hiatus hernia. GP says hernia shouldn't be causing the back pain. I am taking omeprazole, cyclizine and buscopan as I am in pain, have terrible heartburn and feel sick all the time. Also taking cocodamol and ibuprofen more recently for the pain. 

I'm not sure what to do next. The pain is like a dull ache stitch like pain. If anyone can give me any advice on what to do next I would appreciate it. 

Hello I have a pain below my right rib every day all different times of the day, I'm so worried as they have found blood in my stool test he said it's only slightly raised but it's stillraised, every other test I've have done has come back normal which is more worrying because the pain isnt diverticulitis or chrones or anything like that 

Hi,

Did u get to the bottom of this? Im experiencing sometjinf v similar. Pain in right side with a lump which tjey think is inflamed bowel and pain in rib. Ive had bloods, mri, ultra sounds, and jusy recently colonoscopy which are all coming back clear. So v confusing?! X

I have read all the posts above and have this right sided pain under the ribs. Its a dull ache sometimes and sometimes just a short sharp pain , sometimes its a soreness, its really weird. 

I have always had this achness but since Lockdown its increased. Its not a pain by which i need pain killers but i think the fear of the unknown is more dangerous for us who want to know .I had the normal scan of the area which showed nothing was wrong. I had a stool test showing nothing as far as Blood or elivated anything or abnormal. The blood tests were also fine[ apart from slightly elivated cholestrol. ] Then the Gastro said to do a Colonoscopy which i am afraid of doing so want to ask for a MRI. I just cant get my head around having one, although i guess if i am cornered i will. 

I had a diagnosis from a Bioresonance procedure which involves frequency diagnosis for all who believe and it showed i must be allergic to gluten wheat and milk. [ Which is all foods i love to eat] . I must say i have no real constipation issues as in been stuck for a long time but when i do go they are mostly formed. On occassions i will get a bout of looseness with loads of wind and quite explosive. To be true thats not unusual for me . No sick feeling at all either. 

I was thinking to look into the FOD MAP diet and see if that will help. I dont know about u all but i have this idea that this pain will explode inside and i have left it for too long and feel bad to be so afraid. Its a lousy feeling . I hope you all manage to find a way to feel better and please do share how u have recovered please  regards  xxxx

THANKS

Hope you find info to share with us 

Hi Chris, i've just read your symptoms and they sound very close to mine. Do you feel the pain moves around aswell?  mine moves from my back, to right flank, to pelvis.  
I was convinced of liver issues for months, stopped drinking, stopped runing to see if it was musular, and after three months its still with me.  The only differenec i see is I have nausea most days now.  

Ive had bloods, CT, MRi, Ultrasound and Fibroscan... all that was found was mild fatty liver and very high cholestoral (strange considering my diet is good to excellent and BMI is 25)

What they have scheduled for me next is Scopes at both ends !  and i've figured i should have that to rule out finally - or find anyting sinister.   My symptoms have been exactly a year this week.. its been a battle getting answers during Covid... 

cheers.

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same symptoms - pain that seems to move around on my right side, including my pelvis, flank, under rib, collar bone, lower back, lower abdomen and shoulder tip. I feel very nauseous too. All my bloods have come back fine, had a pelvic/renal ultrasound which was fine apart from a small ovarian cyst.

I guess I will have to book another doctors appoinment to continue the search! 

Amber

Hi Amber, interesting - sounds identcal.  I woke this morning and it was only too of my pelvis - as days gone on its  moved to right abdomen to the side.

I just got a call that I didn't know was being arranrged by my consultant aswell as Scopes, now MRI as well... hopefully will know by 27th....

thanks Simon

Hi all, 
 

I thought I would come on and join the discussion as I have been having the exact same pains that you guys have described! I have been googling this since my symptoms started in August trying to find anyone who shared similar issues and I've found nothing until this thread.

It started with a slight palpitation under my right rib, that comes and goes ever so often. And the same time coinciding with a pain just under my belly button (both sides, but mainly to the right). As time has gone on it has spread to my lower pelvic area, my back (lower and upper) and my left upper abdomen. Most of it is a dull ache apart from the spasms under my right rib. It feels like a constant pressure and never goes away. Over the past few weeks it has intensified to an on/off nausea, slight dizziness, and today diarrhoea (though that may be down to the stress).

Doctors seem to be dismissing it as IBS, but my symptoms don't improve by going to the toilet, and the pain never relents. I have had bloods and stool samples. Also pelvic/abdominal ultrasounds. So far all that it is showing is a slight kidney filtration issue, but the pain doesn't seem to be near the 'classic' kidney pain areas, so I don't think that's it. Everything seemed fine with my liver on the ultrasound and bloods. My other thought was gallbladder, but that didn't come up on my ultrasound either. I'm at a total loss! Having to take time off work now as the pain intensifies. Going to try and get a private MRI booked in as I'm fed up of waiting for the NHS. 
 

I hope you guys manage to find answers soon. 

Hi Allyo, 

Sorry to read about your pain and issues - yes - sounds almost the same.  I've gone through all those thought you have and Gallatones was closest but I had a CT scan and they showed no issues . 
I have scopes booked next week - both ends, and small bowel MRI the week after - my list now is down to muscular pain (no likely) Polyps and bowel/colon cancer. Non of which quite match the Symptoms, but I guess we are all different -   meeting with consultant on 27th and will share my results here. 

Forgot to add - I did myself online blood stool test and CRP and both have been negative 

And I'm really luck that my tests are private - that said, all this has still taken a year.
