Pain under right rib, gallbladder?

[MyLifeNow20]

Hi everyone.
I have had this pain on and off for a while now, very very uncomfortable mainly after I have eaten (today was lunch, tiger loaf bread with butter and ham and cheese) not a healthy lunch but it set me off. Most of the day this awful pain under ribs and if i push it its much worse, goes into my back too.
I did do a workout last night so a lot more achy than I normally am but I can still feel it. It eases when I stand up or lay down.
I had gallbladder poloyps when I was pregnant 7 years ago and was in a and e. I dont know if it is something similar.
Has anyone else had similar pains?

I am not a doctor, but it could well be. I get terrible pains under my bpttom right rib. Finding out your trigger foods helps. For me, its chocolate and cheese. I was up last night being sick, which tends to happen when I have overdone it (about once a year, possibly).

Sounds like it.
Fat triggers it.

Sounds like gallbladder to me. I am waiting for mine to come out. An ultrasound will reveal if it is.

Suffered with this for years - even had the ambulance called out once, but even in A&E they didn't know what it was. I though it was wind or indigestion. Eventually I went to my GP who diagnosed gall bladder problems straight away, sent me for a scan and very soon after I had it removed and have been fine ever since. Wish I had gone much sooner.

Thanks everyone.
Ive not had it at all today but then I havent had cheese. Think I will go to doctors next week

This is me, I've been diagnosed with a polyp but no stones. Is your discomfort pretty consrant? Any other symptoms?

Yes sounds like gallbladder to me (I had mine removed 10 years ago). Definitely go see the GP sooner rather than later as the waiting lists will be long for it removing and you don't want it getting much worse as it's really not nice.
Buscopan helped with my pains.

So yesterday my pain started at 12pm and continued pretty much all day.
Today nothing!
Sometimes its just triggered by sitting too much, for instance if we have lunch or dinner at family houses, my back was so bad I had to take paracetemol.

Sounds like it, yes. Try taking buscopan and see if that helps.

@MyLifeNow20 how are you today mylife? Mine were all similar symptoms but seems to have progressed to quite a bit worse over last month. GP thinks gallstones, bloods done, waiting for scan but Easter got in the way. Can't eat much without bloating and pain. Good luck anyway.

@MyLifeNow20 do you have any other symptoms?

I dont really have any other symptoms.
I have been ok all day, had chicken salad and new potatoes for dinner. x

How are you doing @MyLifeNow20 ?

Op how are you , I've got this now

It's terrible

How are you doing @MyLifeNow20 has your pain disappeared?

Hi everyone.
It is still very much on and off. Havent had it for a few days. Havent had tiger bread since though and feel much better. It just seems to be hit and miss

Have you had any gallbladder tests? Mine comes and goes too, but is also accompanied by wind and stomach gurgling. I've just had 5 weeks of nothing and now it's back again. I'm on a pretty low fat diet, apart from a hit of milk in tea. And nothing was different during those 5 weeks. It's so frustrating.

Am waiting for a gastro appointment.

Most likely gallbladder, but keep a close eye on any symptoms especially if they get worse. If something is up with the pancreas it can cause very similar symptoms.

I've been having the exact same thing for about 8 years. Under my ribs, right hand side. Might not have the pain for months, then suddenly without warning, I feel like I've been stabbed by a knife in my side. Really painful and comes in waves, can last hours or days. Like contractions . Takes my breathe away

I had ultra scan and was told my gallbladder, kidneys and liver are fine. So now I'm back at square one

Tonight has been a bad night. Went to my friends house for drinks and the pain had started even before the first drink. (I did have a burger for dinner)
The pain has carried on all night, put on a brave face, 6pm- now, 11.45pm and am sat with ice block on my ribs.

@MyLifeNow20 have you got one of those wheat-filled heat pads you can put in the microwave? I found heat was the best thing to deal with the gallbladder pain, rather than cold. Painkillers did absolutely nothing for me but the doctor suggested I try Buscopan for the cramps and it did seem to help a little. I also took digestive enzymes (you can get them from Holland & Barrett) with each meal and they seemed to help a bit, too. This is on the assumption it is your gallbladder but it does sound like it.

I also have this. A scan of my gall bladder revealed two tiny polyps which they said couldn't possibly be causing the pain. My liver/pancreas looks fine.

I can also be pain free for months followed by a bad flare up which can also last for months. I also have awful pain in my back.

Mine doesn't seem massively affected by food either.

I was diagnosed with abdominal adhesions a few years ago so mine may be linked to that?

Same here bippityboppity87, although my scan was a couple of weeks after the flare up so I wondered if the evidence had gone.

@MyLifeNow20 have you tried a really hot hot water bottle to ease the pain as I found that was the only thing that worked?

Same her @GrandRapids
I have a tiny polyp with is supposedly asymptomatic. I have weeks of it be mostly be clear (with perhaps the odd niggle) to it flaring up massively and accompanied by other gastro symptoms like gurgling stomach and funny bowel movements. Frustrating. Bloods all fine.

I've had this for nearly 4 years. Not exactly painful for me but feels like a big, tender swollen area after eating although there's nothing that can be felt which always surprises me. Had a scan about 3 years ago but was told all was fine so haven't done anything about it since although it really bothers me.
