What Causes Dull Intermittent Pain On Right Side Of Navel?
Question: Having dull intermittent pain by right of my belly button. Frequent burps upon waking up and throughout the day. After I eat, release of gas. What could this be?
Brief Answer:
Some information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I am sorry you are having this trouble. The location of the pain you are describing is understandable from the results of the ultrasound that you posted earlier. It looks like a gallstone might have passed thru the common bile duct (which was seen as dilated on the the ultrasound). The location of your pain is in this area.
When the gall bladder, bile duct, and first part of the intestines (duodenum) where the bile drains is inflamed and acting up, then pain in this area (especially after a greasy meal), burping, flatulence, and indigestion are all possible from it.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.

So when should the after effects subside? My MRCP came back clear. I have been watching my diet the past few days.
Brief Answer:
MRCP
Detailed Answer:
I would expect that you should feel better in a few days. Do call your doctor tomorrow to discuss your continued symptoms. And if the pain is worsening instead of getting better, then call your doctor too. But a negative/clear MRCP is reassuring that nothing more serious is going on.
