Should I go to to gp????? Chronic pain under right rib cage..

...feel like I need my on parking slot at surgery the amount of times I have been.

Basically I have had this this constant pain on the right hand side under rib cage, for the two months. First time I went to gp, he said I had acid reflux and prescribed me omeprazol. Took it for a week, felt worse, went back to gp, who sent me to the hospital for an emergency scan as he thought it was my gall bladder. Scan showed nothing. Had a gastroscopy earlier on in the month and ct scan, but my consultant is on a leave and won't be back for a fortnight to look at the results. Been to see gp about the pain, who basically said I can't do anything for you until the consultant has seen your result - keep taking paracetamol..which doesn't help. Hospital secretary said there is no other consultant who can see your results so you have to wait for consltant to return for him to see your results...which I doubt he will see first thing as soon as he returns and god knows when my appointment to see him will come through.....mean while am in constant agony, can't eat, hurts like mad under right rib cage, cant sleep at night, feel like I have glass in my digestive system....where do I go???Sad

Could the pain be musculoskeletal?

Are you still suffering with vomiting?

Does anything help it/make it worse?

Did it start suddenly or gradually?

Stop googling. On the good side if scans and bloods are normal there is nothing too serious.

Thank u....just worried about the amount of painkillers am taking...2 paracetamols, every 4-6 hrs, or cocodamol...concerned that the painkillers might be causing other side effects...
Hurting like mad today, can feel awful pain under rib cage, which sometimes feel like the pain has moved to the right and sometimes feel it in my back...Sad

I know this is an old post but what was the outcome? I have the same pain

Thankfully in a much better place. My issues were down to stress and IBS. After completely altering my eating, exercising etc I have lost a lot of weight and pain more or less gone. It does come back now and again but this is mostly down to having a bad (unhealthy) meal or stress but I know what to do to make me better. Fasting really helped. Hope you feel better soon. It wasn't a nice place for me to be in so I do feel for you xx

Wow, you saw this question and answered it 11 years after your original post? I wonder whether it's a Mumsnet record! Fantastic and mind-boggling 😱😁

It's great to hear that you're so much better now 👍Flowers
