Sporadic under/inside of lower right rib stabbing pain for 2 months now. gets worst every time. liver/ gallbladder problem? worth getting checked?

Definitely: Any pain that is uncomfortable with no explanation, getting worse etc, needs a doctor visit. Your appendix is also on that side of your body. Get to the doctor when you can and if the pain is severe and constant get to er right away! take care!

Get checked: You should have this looked at immediately, particularly if it is related to eating before or after possibilities include gall stones problem or gastrointestinal problems such as gastritis or ulcers or bowel issues such as ibd. It could also be an infectious problem if associated with pain and fever appendicitis is a possibility and should be dealt with immediately.
