Discomfort In Kidney Area, Feels Like Swollen, Pain Under Both Ribs. What Could Be This?
Hi, I'm a 47 yr old female, experiencing discomfort on both sides, kidney area. All I can say is it feels like they are swollen. I ache in the front, right under both ribs, through to the back. No pain, just this chronic ache in this region. I don't have any insurance, so I've been putting off seeing a Doctor. This discomfort I've been expeciecing now on and off has been about a year in duration.

there are chances of gall bladder or urinary bladder or other organ of abdomen involved
you need to diagnose it by ultrasound abdomen in which you will get confirmation of wahich organ is involved and you need to consult gastroenterologist to treat accordingly to the organ involved
