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 Ferretlove. ---

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. Jeff ---

Thanks Jeff. That is hilarious. Now I'm picturing bile ducts turning into dust. LOL. Cathie JeffDC said: > I get some occasional, momentary pains there.

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. :) Ferretlove Dennis said: > 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 ---

When you experience pain in your RUQ, does it cause discomfort in the same area in your back? Triple r ---

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.
