Pain To Touch In Right Lower Back. Have Celiacs Disease With History Of Gallbladder Removal. Is This Serious?
Bruise like feeling to the touch on my right side lower back above my hip but below my right ribcage. I had my gallbladder removed 5 years ago and have Celiacs Disease. After I touch the spot, it hurts a good amount and then fades over the next 20 minutes. Could this be serious given my past?

Hi,
The pain you are having could be related to:
- appendicitis
- possible kidney or urinary tract infection
- liver/pancreas/bowel problems.
So, I strongly suggest to consult your GI specialist as soon as possible to rule out appendicitis (as emergency) and other conditions.
I also advise to:
- do abdominal ultrasound
- do urine analysis
- do complete blood profile
- check your liver enzymes in blood
All the best!
