Right Side Pain ???

 I have often read on this site of many people complaining of pain on thier right side. I have been having this pain lately. It's not really something new I've had this on and off for years but it has been worse lately. It dosen't feel internal though. If I apply pressure to the area it dosen't feel tender at all.  It feels more like a muscle pull or tear. It never bothers me while sleeping and when I wake up no pain at all. As I become active it starts to "flare". If I just rest and relax it disappears. Sitting is the worst position, it seems to aggrivate it. It can "travel" from the bottom of my rib cage to the appendix area however my app. was removed about five years ago. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what this may be. Haven't mentioned it to my Dr. recently but in the past when I did all test showed nothing.

Any ideas?

I have that now. My right side hurts pretty bad. The lower part of my rib cage to the middle of my back. I hate this pain.

I have no appt to see him. I have not seen him since Dec 07. I have been in remission for the last 2+yrs, up till about 2 weeks ago when this flare started.

I get the right sided pain as well. But I don't have Uc in that area since mine is left sided. Sometimes it's almost unbearable and other times it's like a sharp ache. Sometimes it helps if I take Gas-X so it may be from gas. And other times I think it's my ovulation and/or ovarian cyst. But lately I've also been having a lot of pale looking stool and green/yellow bile. I brought it up to my GI but he didn't seemed too concerned over it. If you are not sure what it could be, it's best to get checked out to be on the safe side.

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS!! :)

  I too have had right side pain for like 9 years!  I have had all the tests, CT's, MRI's etc. and they have found NOTHING!  But sometimes it hurts so bad I can't stand up.  I'm most uncomfortable standing or walking.  I'm not sure what it is that sets me off but I have kind of connected it with a flare or mild discomfort (not necessarily a full flare).  It has nothing to do with ovulation or gas.  I don't know what the heck it is but it gets so frustrating!  Sometimes I feel like my doctor is just thinking "are you kidding me?"  They offered to take out my appendix (because I agree, the pain radiates almost from my ribs in back to my right front and feels very muscular or something) and I didn't let them at the time because I didn't want to miss work and they weren't sure it would even help because my appendix was not actually inflammed.  I also had/have kidney stones on the right side and it very much feelsl like that pain but all the urologists and xrays and CT's say it's not pain from those because they are still within my kidneys and not in the ureters.  Go figure!  Sometimes I feel crazy!  Any advice we can come up with on this site is much appreciated here!  Sorry Pooper Bowl Champ and the rest of you that I have not offered a solution but just a rant about the problem. :)

 The weird part is that I'm not originally from Chicago.  I grew up in Long Beach, CA.  I've only been here 8 years but I swear I have had the WORST symptoms here and when I go on vacation back to CA, I'm usually very good and can eat just about anything!  I wonder if it does have to do with geography... water, soil, etc. :)

It's definitely best to know where your UC is (get a copy of your C-scope results)..as well, to have proper tests done to make sure it's not liver/gallbladder, etc.

Gas...it's possible, but if you're sure it's not, then it's best to find out what.

Please keep us posted.
