A member asked:

Pain in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen, hurts when i stretch or breath in deeply. is it liver pain due to alcohol and what are the treatments?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nonspecific: Could be your abdominal wall muscles, or gallbladder. There are of course many other things that are possible. The best way to sort this out is to see a primary care provider for a proper evaluation. If it is severe, or relentless, then go soon. Hope this helps!
