Hi, I am 28 years old female, i am hoping to maybe get some answers on here from anyone who has had similar problems. About 3 months ago I started to get weird back pain it was in the middle of my back more to my right side it would go from mild then with activity would get really tense tight pressure feeling then I would get really nauseous...thought I was maybe getting the flu went on for about 2 days like this then started a dull sharp pain right below my right rib cage and would radiate the pain to my back . only relief I would get would be laying down with a hot water bottle behind my back on my right side. In the past 3 months it goes from a week or 2 of every symptom very severe throwing up constantly sick to then being bit better for a week then flares up again feels worse...my pain tolerance is high so the constant burning stabbing feeling on my side I can handle but when the nausea sets in it's very hard to function. I have been to the doctor they have done a ct , they did an ultrasound of my kidneys, I have had a endescopy done, blood tests done etc all say normal the only thing was my blood tests showed my liver enzymes were slightly elevated but was told that was of no concern...I am someone who hates to even go to the doctor would like to just pretend that I'm fine and continue on but as much as I would like to my pain on my side stays...side note I had my gallbladder removed over a year ago ...I was told by my surgeon that i should have my gi consider sphincter of oddi dysfunction? But seemed like she didnt really think it was...honestly very very tired of doctors and family thinking I'm crazy and it's just something simple like heartburn etc...if I could magically say I'm better and it was that easy would have done that long time ago. 😉

Is any of your pain accompanied with your menstrual cycle at all or have you changed your eating habits or what your eating?
My daughter has been dealing with this same type of pain off and on for years, only after her gallbladder was taken out and her liver enzymes way high Everytime. When I was younger I went through similar pain excruciating pain that drop me to my knees but my mom was caused from endometriosis. That's why I asked if it could be related to your cycle.

No it's not. But on food I haven't totally noticed a difference either...like today and yesterday didnt have anything more greasy or anything but yet my burning on my side all day is alot more severe then it was before

You didn't mention appendix. Have they ruled that out?
