Brief Answer:
Most probably associated with liver pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concern. Pain in the upper right abdomen can be hard to differentiate based on just the symptom. However a dull pain in this area is more likely to originate from the liver.

Liver pain is usually dull and vague and felt under the right ribs and can often be confused with general abdominal pain, kidney pain or back pain.

Liver pain can have different causes so it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible in order to do blood tests and an ultrasound as a first diagnostic step.

I hope this answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
