Pain under ribs for 9 years

@ehdog

it still doesn’t sound like a disease. At most it sounds like irritation, which settles down on its own with a little care and rest.

@ashlynnmae

It hurts when I touch it sometimes

Also wdym irritation?

@ehdog
If it hurts when you press on it, that sounds like a muscle or soft tissue issue, like tension or strain.

When I say irritation, I just mean it’s being affected by stress. It’s not dangerous and doesn’t mean you’re sick or have a serious disease. Your kidney is fine.

@ashlynnmae

I don’t think it’s your kidneys. It seems more like your body is just really tense.

@ehdog

Can I ask, does your mother currently have Hepatitis C, or did she have it in the past?

@ashlynnmae

Yes she had it

But I don't luckily

@ehdog

Okay. that’s why she developed kidney disease.

I promise, if you actually had untreated kidney disease, you’d be experiencing a lot of serious symptoms, which you don’t have.

@ashlynnmae

Do you drink alcohol? Is your skin unusually yellow, like a Simpson?
Are you throwing up a lot, even every time you eat? Any blood in your urine?

Based on what you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like kidney disease.

@ashlynnmae

I don't think there's any blood.

@ehdog

There’s no blood, and your urine looks really healthy, nice!
Also, you don’t show any signs of untreated Hep C.
