For about two weeks, i have had abdominal tenderness in my right upper quadrant...below my right ribcage. i associated this with getting acupuncture a few weeks back, but the discomfort has been persistent. it is only felt if the area is pressed on?

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Your symptoms suggest an issue with the liver. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
