Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I will try to be as helpful as i can but i canâ€™t diagnose your symptoms.  We can go through possible symptoms of problems with the gallbladder or pancreas. 
     Cholecystitis begins as intermittent pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Overtime the pain worsens and becomes constant. The pain can also be referred to the shoulder blade in the back. It usually increases after eating fatty or greasy foods. Other symptoms can include a mild fever, tenderness or enlargement of the gallbladder, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting.
 Gall stones may cause no symptoms in some people. It can cause cramping pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant and in the upper abdominal midline if a large gallstone obstructs the common bile duct or the cystic duct.  This pain can become constant and can also be referred to just below the shoulder blade. This can be accompanied by a fever, nausea, vomiting, light or clay colored feces, and yellow color of the eyes or skin.
     There are many different types of diseases of the liver. These can include: hepatitis, too much iron or too much copper deposited in the liver, fatty liver disease and viruses just to skim the surface.
     Acute pancreatitis can cause upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back and worsens after eating fatty foods. It can be associated with nausea, vomiting, fever and abdominal tenderness and swelling.  Chronic pancreatitis has similar symptoms and can be accompanied by weight loss and extremely severe pain.
  I have only touched the tip of the ice berg.  Gastroenterologists are experts in this area and the best place to fine tune this type of diagnosis.

Question 4

i have a strange full burning feeling under my right ribs and tingling sensation in chest and both hands?

Accepted Answer

Tingling: Widespread tingling can occur with deficiencies of calcium,magnesium, potassium, iron and vitamin b12. Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome can be the cause of both hands tingling,however. The liver and gall bladder are located in the right upper abdomen. Contact a physician if symptoms persist and appropriate tests will be ordered in order to make a diagnosis.

Question 5

ibs-c uncomfortable / full feelinright up under ribs right across. stingy type feeling were colon bends? no appetite

Accepted Answer

Sure it's just IBS?: Anatomically, the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen includes: liver, gallbladder, pancreatic head, bile ducts and ampulla, c-loop of the duodenum, stomach antrum and pylorus, the hepatic flexure of the colon. Don't forget the diaphragm and lower chest are pretty close by. The abdominal musculature, ribs, and skin can all contribute as well to localizing RUQ pain. An exam is appropriate.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Need context: With such a vague symptom, it is impossible to give a good answer unless we know the context of the pain (when, where exactly, how painful, etc, etc). See your doctor!

Question 7

i have pain between my ribs and on left side and back not all the time and very pain full what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Many things...: More history would be needed. For example, if the pain increases with deep breath, it could be an inflammation of the heart or lung lining. If it is tender to touch the area, may be muscle strain (there are muscles between your ribs), pain between cartilage and bone of ribs; sometimes shingles rash breaks out after the pain has been there for several days. Since very painful, check w doc.
