Body pain

[Lonclan]

About six months ago I first felt an uncomfortable feeling in the area the right side of my of my rib cage. It felt like a minor muscle pull but it has never gone away. over the last three weeks it is getting very uncomfortable with mild pains, the worst area of pain is at the front edge of my rib cage just to the right of the centre joint.

Has anyone any idea what this might be ?

Not sure Loncan, that is were your liver and pancreas are housed, do you drink a lot? If not then your best bet is to go to the doctor as if it was a muscle pull I would assume it should have healed by now.

nope but your GP might, give them a call.

I do drink however, on average about 10 units a week.
I have been to the doctor who examined me and has reffered me to a specialist.

I have the exactly the same except its on my left side, Iwent to the doctors in March about it, he gave me anti-inflamatory capsules, its still been there nagging and ive had some terrible pains ,I thought I was having heart pains,back to the doctor last week,after examining me he said I had 'COSTO CHONDRITIS' which is to do with bone cartilage he's given me pain killers now, I think he may be right because he actually knew where all the pain was and more or less told me where I hurt. hope this helps but if I were you I would still have the doctor check it out. Good luck.
