I have a dull pain on the right side of my body, just under the ribs. Not knowing anatomy very well i looked up a picture of the inner body and have determined pain looks to be around the hepatic flexure, or the liver. it feels a bit like i am bloated and makes me feel a bit sick. I woke up to the pain at midnight and thought i just needed to go poo. The pain seems to less when i do sit up type exercises and worsens when i lay flat. Do you have any idea what the pain might be or how to fix it?
I am a 53 year old male. i don't smoke or drink, i am in fairly good health, work out regularly, completed 3 sprint triathlons this last summer and usually won my category. i say that to demonstrate my condition.
