Pain all over

Earlier in the week, i had pain on my right side around where one of my ribs is. I thought at first it mught be the Crohn's disease but today I have had pain in my back and my right side. Has this happened with anyone else?

I'm not sure, but it sounds kind of like a rib may be torqued from a subluxation. I get the same type of feeling sometimes and usually it gets better if I stretch both my elbows backwards often, and level with the height of my chest and try to make my shoulder blades touch as a reference point. They don't touch, the goal is to just imagine your inner shoulder blades trying to touch, while in a slow rowing backward type motion. I hope that makes sense. Sometimes I even hear it pop back in. I have had to see the chiropractor on more than one occasion to have it adjusted though. I hope it goes away soon.

Gallbladder problems can cause the pain you describe Ron. Can you recall what you ate? Foods high in fats can trigger the pain. I've been having these pains and they come and go due to sludge on my gallbladder. I am not on any meds for it and the doctor is monitoring it.
I was on a course of making ginger tea, and it made the pains worse, on that recommendation I went off of it and I am better for it.
