Severe Pain In My Upper Right Rib Area For One Month
Severe Pain in my upper right rib area just above right breast radiating through my back It feels like a knife has been stuck through my upper right side ribs above my right breast and it seems to radiate through to the back area between my shoulder blades. I doubled over minutes ago as I was deeply in pain. If an X-ray doesn t show everything, who do they do it? It feels like something is inside there squeezing so hard it takes my breath away. i am 48, on high blood pressure meds as well as thyroid meds. It wakes me up during the night at times too. This has been going on now for over a month. I am fatigued now as well.
