I've had a numb feeling in my upper right abdomen and have seen a doctor. blood work was normal but seems to be getting worse. over six months now.

See below: Numbness ( loss of sensation ) indicates nerve damage / irritation. Nerves that innervate that area travel from brain down the spinal cord, out the spinal cord and around to your abdomen. Somewhere along the course of the nerve you have some compression, irritation or damage. Don't know what they checked in your blood, but seems like the money is in looking at your abdomen / back.
