Specializes in Pain Management

Check gallbladder: Right upper quadrant pain may be due to gallstones or dysfunctional gallbladder. Labwork and ultrasound may assist in the diagnosis. Sharp , stabbing pain under the breast that radiates from front to back may indicate intercostal neuralgia. Check with your family physician.
