Pain in mid right back

Resolved Question:

i have had some pain in my mid right back that can sometimes be felt just under the ribs of the immediate right side. this has been going on for about 6 months. it has traveled a little towards the side/front right since the beginning but it is still there. in recent weeks the pain has been on the rise. sometimes it is even tender to the touch. the pain seems to be worse when i am gassy. a couple of months ago for about 5 weeks i was having clay like stools. that doesnt happen very often anymore but i dont have a normal bowel movement. mostly pasty. no blood in stool or urine. for the past 3 months i have felt very bloated in my abdominal cavity. its even visible. i have also been having low flow urinations. and for a month now i my rectum has been very sensitive and sometimes itchy. I don't have hemorrhoids. I keep finding it hard to visit the doctor because of my schedule and taking care of my family. What do you think i may have and is it serious?

Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

The location of the pain and the associated symptoms are suggestive of involvement of Gallbladder. It could be a chronic cholecystitis . Any pancreatic / gallbladder obstruction can also cause similar symptoms.
This require evaluation, and it SHOULD NOT be delayed any further under any circumstances.

Unlike other body systems abdominal complaints are bit non specific. But where there is suggestive sign like this it should be evaluated before leading to any complications.

Other cause like a Duodenal ulcer can also present like this. A definitive diagnosis is possible only after complete evaluation. I would recommend a complete blood count, Liver function tests, and a Ultrasound abdomen in consult with your Doctors.

Do you have any itching over the body ? Any yellowish discolouration of eyes ?

Anyway hope this helps
Feel free to ask followups
Thank you
