Organ v Other: Important to get checked, immed.Could be serious-liver/gallbladder/kidney.But, could be rib dysfunction, chronic muscle spasm, or nerve irritation.Any dr. can take a history & do tests to rule out the dangerous med conditions.A good osteopathic dr. can also do additional hands-on tests to determine if it's muscle/bone dysfunction or nerve irritation which can be fixed by osteopathic manipulation.
