Question : Hi.
I am having pain that runs at the base of my rib cage, back to front. On the right side.
It started as a sharp tearing type pain. Now it is just achy pain, that is sometimes sharp when I move. Pain worsens after I eat.
This has been going on for over a week.
My Gall Bladder was removed about 5 years ago.
