Strange pain (sorry if wrong forum)

[Chuck78]

Starting this afternoon, I'm having a new pain. It's on the right side just under the ribcage, about 3 inches up from the bottom rib. I'll be just fine and all of a sudden, BOOM, it feels like something clutches your insides for about 3 seconds then releases. It's very pinpoint, in a small area, but a very deep pain. I'm currently having fairly normal BM &. I know the feeling of eating something bad and getting the "I'm going to go soon" pain. This is more intense. Any input would be appreciated.

Current meds:
9mg entocourt
200mg imuran
Cimzia
Nexium

Thanks,
chuck

Try to note if this happens after eating a meal with fats in it. The gallbladder releases bile when fatty food is eaten. I can get my gallbladder to kick in by eating lots of butter.

If this produces a pattern of pain then you should see a doctor as you may have gallstones or something else wrong with the gallbladder.

Medications can also cause liver stress which could result in pain. Have a blood test to see of your liver is OK.

Pancreatitis is also a possibility, but more unlikely.

Good luck.

Hi chuck. Just checking to see if youre still having pain.
If so, I'd suggest giving the doc a call.

I'm at the ER now. Getting ready for our favorite adventure, the CT scan. Thanks for all the input. It is very helpful.

Hope they can figure out what might be causing the pain and sort out a treatment plan for you, Chuck!
