A member asked:

Can hiatus hernia cause pain in upper right back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Hiatal hernia by itself usually does not cause pain, but it is usually accompanied by gerd, which can cause epigastric or substernal (both in front of body) pain. Pain in right back could be from gallbladder problems. See a doctor for advice.
