Question 1

hi i'm having right side pain under rib cage and lower back pain that is releaved when i have a bowl movement.i'm also have  nausea.

Accepted Answer

Start with water: Try to increase water intake and maybe also fiber intake to get a more even consistency to your stool. If having regular bowel movements results in minimization of the discomfort then this was the problem. If symptoms persist then you probably need to see your doctor in order to evaluate for other things like gallbladder problems.

Question 2

recurring utis, lower left back pain under rib cage, high white blood cell count in urine, nausea, weakness. causes?

Accepted Answer

Pyelonephritis: It sounds like you have pyelonephritis/ renal infection.  You could have infected kidney stones or an obstructing ureteral stone.  You could have vessico-ureteral reflux or a large  post void bladder residual.  I would recommend that you see a urologist and get a renal/bladder ultrasound and voiding cysto-urethrogram.  Good luck.

Question 3

hurting under rib cage feeling nausea ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A woman in her 60's with new pain under the ribs plus nausea... may be having heart attack chest pain with nausea. That means not waiting at home to see if it turns into a more serious condition. The safest thing to do is call 911 for an ambulance (or call one's local emergency number) to go to the ER. As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry."

Question 4

hello i have a burning sensation on left side under rib cage along with nausea and a fever of 101?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Fever, vomiting and worsening pain are all serious symptoms that warrant evaluation at your local health care facility or a call to your doc with directions. Possible organs involved include lung, spleen, gallbladder, stomach, esophagus and diaphragm. Could be a viral infection of another type of infection. Don't  delay, ask a friend or family to go with you.

Question 5

throbbing sharp pain on left side near hip bone and under rib cage. feels tensed and hard. chest hurts to breathe, uti, nausea and vomiting. help?

Accepted Answer

UC/ER: Sounds like you need to be seen by a doctor soon. Urgent care or ER. At the very least they can prescribe medication to ease the nausea and vomiting and make sure you are being treated adequately for pyelonephritis if your UTI is not a kidney infection.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Likely Gallbladder: Right upper abdominal pain radiating to the back is often gallbladder related but could be an ulcer or pancreatitis. Best to get checked by a doctor. They can order the appropriate tests.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Check with your doct: I assume you were saying that you have two small cysts in the liver but those usually don't cause pain. Difficult question to answer in this format. I would definitely see your doctor and see if he/she has any other ideas or treatment options to get to the bottom of your pain. You may need a colonoscopy.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Rib cage pain: I am not sure if it is on the right side or left side ? It could be muscle contraction , an ols rib injury. I would suggest that you talk to your dr about it soon.
