So for the past couple months or so Ive been experiencing an uncomfortable swelling sensation under my right rub or right along the right rib. I panicked and thought "oh no it's my liver" or "oh no it's my gallbladder"(my appendix has been removed) . It comes and goes and I notice it more if I bend over to lean on something or if I'm sitting down kind of bent over. Today was feeling it and decided to push on it and it went away... Kinda. Now I feel it has move down my lower belly and to the side. I'm planning on going I and seeing my doctor but am truly puzzled and slightly concerned. It's never sharp shooting pains but an uncomfortable swelling sensation.

Hi,
I have this too. It sort of feels like stitch. I thought mine was a hernia. My Doctor said people don't get hernias under their rib cages. Do you strain when you have a bowel movement? That is where my swelling came from. I had strained my muscles, causing tender, throbbing and swelling.

I had better luck with extreme diet change. Minimal dairy, no sugar, caffeine, avoid as much grease as possible, lots of high fiber vegetables and pretty much only water to drink. Also drank a glass of fiber drinkmix and Lemon juice and honey cleans in water every morning which helped. I also took a magnesium vitamin supplement which reduces water. Its almost completely gone but sometimes coffee or certain foods will trigger it when I stray away.If it goes away when you eliminate almost everything you can gradually introduce things back to find your triggers and avoid them.

Hello , I know it was long time ago but did you found out what it was? I have the same symptoms including nausea . Went to emergency room, they did CAT scan and found nothing but I still have the symptoms , and nausea after eating .

did you ever figure out what this was? im having the EXACT same thing. started to notice it about 2 months ago mainly when i drive because you sit kinda slouched forward...at least i do. seems more noticeable in the car. never really a pain but a dull pressure feeling like somebody inflated a balloon under my ribs.

It could be Fitz Hugh's Curtis syndrome.
