What Causes Pain And Bloating In Right Upper Abdomen?

default
Posted on Wed, 29 Jul 2015
Question: I am experiencing a dull continuous pain (with a feeling of bloating in the abdomen) that has worsened over the last few days. Today I have not passed gas or had a bowel movement so I am worried that this is something I should go into emergency for?

The pain is on the upper right side just under the rib cage and the pain radiates around to the back. Several days ago the pain was on both sides. My urine today has been much darker than normal.
