Probably a bit worse when sitting. As someone who has always drank too much at home (couple of glasses of wine most evenings) I am terrified it maybe liver or kidney related
Your liver is top right quadrant and that's where pain would most likely be if there was an issue with it. That's certainly where my mate's pain was and she had a problem with her liver. So I'd forget this one...
Re kidneys, there's nothing in your wee and if there was an issue with your kidneys I'd imagine something will show up in your bloods...
Plus pain is still there and moved mostly more central right abdomen.
Sounds more colon-y to me. I'm having issues of the colon kind at the moment too..
not sure muscular would last this long
I've had muscular pains last for 3 months..
I did have something similar about 10 years ago that I had abdominal scan for but that was lower right and did not move centrally or affect back. Was also very dull pain always where as this is more
crampy in middle at times with odd shooting pains occasionally.
Sounds even more colon-y to me now (IBS)
Other than the pain I feel well, eating ok, no weight fluctuation, no reflux and no changed toilet habits.
See, I do have these symptoms (except reflux) only I'm not panicking because I sorted out the HA.
Have I given you what you need? As in reassurance? Because this will only help you for a short time. What will help you long-term is to address your health anxiety. Have you had any therapy Flump?
If I were you, I'd also be cutting back on the sauce. That will be one less thing to worry about.
