Could be pleurisy, but you really need a doctor to check you out as there are different types. Go ahead and schedule an appointment with a doctor. You'll feel so much better afterwards!
Good health to you!!!

Good thinking making an appointment. That happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. The pains would start on one side of my ribs and move across to the other side. While pregnant with my son, I freaked about everything so went to the doc and they told me it was my gall bladder. My son is 13 y/o and I still have my gall bladder with no problems since.

Sounds like your liver to me...but then again I'm no doctor. Good for you though, a lot of people would just play it off and not schedule a doctor's appointment at all.

It's called "Gas". Gas gets trapped and can be painful. See your doctor and I'm sure that's what it is. Don't get your pantyhose in a bunch just yet.

go to your family doctor or gastroenterologist. It could be your gallbladder. Gallstones have similar symptoms....but so do many other issues as others have answered previous to mine.
