Right Upper Abdominal Pain, Excessive Ab Workouts. Tests Done. Could It Be A Muscle Pull?
I have had right upper abdominal pain for the last month. Some days are worse than others. I have been to the er two times and all tests have came back negative. I am scheduling a hida scan to check my gallbladder . Other than that, I do remember doing excess ab workouts the week this all started and my pain is mostly apparent crouching, crunching, and sitting.. Can this be a muscle issue?

Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
yes. you are right. a muscle sprain / soft trauma can also cause pain there.
an ultrasound would usually pick up a gallstone etc.
if all tests are negatiuve, muscle sprain is likely. pl. try simple analgesics like acetaminophen and local pain gels to the muscle and see if it gets better.
take care and keep me posted on your progress.
