Pain

Symptoms & Treatment

I am a bit curious, does anyone else have pain in their upper right quadrant? If so, what do you do for it and what is it from?

Thanks for your feedback

I get some occasional, momentary pains there. It's just enough to get my attention, then it dissipates.

This disease is known to cause pain there. I tend torture myself by joking that every time I feel a pain there, another bile duct bites the dust. But that is a bit morbid, and is not the case.

Thanks Jeff. That is hilarious. Now I'm picturing bile ducts turning into dust. LOL.

Hi Dennis

I haven't had alcohol or fried food in years. Oddly enough I don't even miss it. It is kind of weird I have had constant pain in that area since I got sick. I had 2 days about a month ago where I didn't have pain. Those were lovely days and made me almost feel normal. :)

That's where the liver is, but I guess you already knew that. I only get pains there right before a flare up and then it's already too late to do anything about it. Try to avoid getting a flare up is what I do: taking my urso, no fried foods and no alcohol.

If I have pain there, it's usually because of the angle I'm sitting at. Church pews and the back of certain vehicles have the wrong angle for sitting. A pillow behind my mid-back can help. Have you tried that?

A while back my boss asked if I was feeling well, I told him I a a bit of pain on my right side. He said I can tell, you put your hand there or rub your side when you are hurting. I hadn't even noticed..

Right side upper abdomen pain is common, although I think my PSC is still pretty light, and if I eat right I can go months without pain. For me avoiding fatty and fried foods, alcohol, as well as carbonated drinks, (that might just be UC pain) keep me in good shape.

I don't have advanced cirrhosis but I have pain all the time. Sometimes very sharp but most of the time dull and feels like a balloon is being blown up under my ribs. Any suggestions about pain medications?

Thanks

Hello Ferretlove,

I often feel pain in my RUQ. It tends to be a stabbing pain but I suspect it's because I have advanced Cirrosis.
Hi Stephen, I hope you find this message well. When you experience pain in your RUQ, does it cause discomfort in the same area in your back?

Usually the pain is caused by inflammation

I pretty much have pain all the time, very dull but it’s there. Haven’t had a biopsy to stage it yet. I feel that changing sitting positions helps a bit.
