What is wrong with my side?

[techs]

A couple of weeks ago my right side started hurting, just below the ribs. I thought I had pulled something shoveling snow but its now 2 weeks and its no better. It doesn't feel like a muscle pull but feels like something inside is hurting. When I push in under my rib cage it hurts.
Am I dying?

If an alien bursts through your chest, you may want to seek medical attention.

Doctor, stat. Could be your appendix, or not - but it certainly isn't normal.

Try a doctor, I find they can be helpful, could be a hernia

It's not a tuma.

Why haven't you seen your doctor yet?

An appendix? I don't know what kind of tragic mutation you have, but the appendix doesn't sit anywhere near the ribcage in a normal human. I think your horrid situation is far more urgent than his.

it could be a diaphragm hernia. Where a tear in you diaphragm causes your intestine to bulge into your abdomen. your source of pain seems a little high up for this, but you never know.

It could also be a very bad muscle strain. it could take a couple weeks for those to heal completely.

But i am no doctor. I would go see one if I were you.

could be a kidney stone, but that usually starts in the back and works it self down.

location sounds like the liver. Not a good thing to be hurting.

Why are you asking an Internet forum and not a doctor?

 

[Manuwell]

I've been told that the liver does never hurt. The Gallbladder is another story.

 

[The Sauce]

I vote for gallbladder...are you a fatty?

 

[Fiat1]

Diverticulitis

 

[captains]

its acutally your fingers that hurt... amputate

the spider nest that was laid in in your abdomen while you were sleeping is hatching. little baby spiders are slowly devouring you from the inside-out.

best to call John Goodman. :thumbsup:

def. not the appendix, you would not be able to go 2 weeks in that pain. Mine nearly burst after 5 hours in the hospital waiting room.
