Why do I have pain on the lower right hand side of my stomach?
Patient: I have pain on the lower right hand side of my stomach. It hurts when I breath and when I sit and when I get up. The pain on the scale of 1-10 is about an 7 or an 8. I am sitting in chair now and it hurts. My stomach is also bloated. I have had this pain for about 2 to 3 days now. The pain is more intense today then it was the past 3 days. I have been taking the supplement CLA for weight loss. I have taken one capsule a day but I have not been taking it regularly for the past two months. I take it with 1400 mg of Fish Oil. What is wrong with me. Could I have pancreatic stones or gall stones. I do not have a fever and I am not vomiting. Doctor: HI. Gone through the history you have provided . Odd to know there is no fever , no vomiting in spite of pain in right lower abdomen.7 to 8 ON scale is severe enough. It hurts when you breath- there are few things like apendicular lump, kidney problems and inflamed gall bladder that can cause pain like this on the right side of abdomen.The best way to get the clinical examination by a Surgeon and ultrasonography to find the cause. Pancreatic stones do not present like this.
