I keep having really bad pain in my upper right side, just under my lung. What could it be?

Question

Ive been to the ER twice, they did tests for pancreatitis appendicitis & gull stones. What else could it be? It hurts just to breathe. It feels like I have something stabbing me from the inside out & it just keeps getting worse & worse. Please help, the Drs are acting stupid like they dont have time.

Answer 1

You definitely need to go to your own doctor, not the ER anymore. Your dr. has more time and resources to figure out what is wrong.

The ER docs might act like they don't have the time, because they don't. The ER is for emergencies.

Answer 2

Does this happen when you are running (exercising), stretching or right after eating? Does it happen after you eat certain foods?
You may not have gall stones, but you could have problems with your gall bladder if it happens after eating rich foods.
Keep an eye on your diet - what you are eating and see if any foods trigger the symptoms.
If that doesn't lead to any answers I would suggest that the doctor do an ultrasound and see if something is obstructing.

Good luck and hope you feel better.

One possibility is severe stress, Is it a burning pain? It is possibly severe indigestion,Irritable bowel syndrome.,do you smoke?One of the ways to control this kind of pain is deep breathing and relaxation techniques.Stress causes so many problems in the human body!Do you feel overwhelmed by problems ?This is a governing factor in dealing with stress.It can cause exhaustion,by draining vital energies from the body.I think it is time for you to start off loading burdens and overwhelming emotional baggage,let other people sort their selves out for a little while.Think positively and meditate in a quiet corner on your own.High acidity can sometimes cause problems in that area.Chest pains usually follow suit ,hence the shallow breathing problem,take deep breaths and try light exercises concentrating on the lung area filling them with fresh clean air.When you eat don't bend forward, sit up straight and eat slowly ,chew slowly ,drinking between mouthfuls,take a little rest half way through your meal and allow excess air to escape ,continue your meal and rest for at least 15 to 30 minutes afterwards.Don't let people hassle you.Try raising your arms above your head whilst stretched out on the floor.Drink plenty of water to flush your system through,this guards against kidney stones constipation dry skin flatulance etc.PHEW!Good luck Lindsay.p.s. Guard against chest infections etc.

Answer 4

ER doctors want you in and out...emergency medicine....go to a general/family doctor. I had the same problem, went to the ER 3 times and there was nothing wrong, or it was gas, or a spastic colon. I finally walked in doubled over and told them I was dieing and they sent my x-rays and ultrasound to a stomach specialist...It was my gallbladder and it was infected big time, they had to do an emergency removal the next day. Make the docs listen tell them you are dieing...gallbladder is nothing to play around with

Answer 5

I had the same exact problem. Just because it is not gall stones, does not mean that it is not your gall bladder. Mine just would not "function properly". It took 5 years, but finally I had a test where they did super fast X-Rays with a shot that would make the gall bladder react. Come to find out it just did not want to work. GO TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!!!!

Answer 6

You may not have gall stones but you could have a low functioning gall bladder or kidney problems I would go to my primary doctor and push for answers No one should be in that much pain over nothing.

Answer 7

That last time I had that type of pain I had lymphoma in my lymp nodes of the lung

Answer 8

I'm not sure what that could be. I'm sure that you have something serouis that needs to be taken care of.

Answer 9

bloating maybe

Answer 10

Cancer.
