Pain Between Ribs And Hip, Appendicitis And Gall Stones Were Ruled Out. What Could This Be?

Recently, I've had water retention and high blood pressure. I've never had high blood pressure before. Another issue that I have going on, and may or may not be related (since late January): pain between my ribs and hip bone on the right side in front, and sometime in my back. It kind of feels like I'm squishing something inside of me when I bend over at the waist, or push on my abdomen; sometimes I feel the pain just when I'm sitting. I've had an abdominal CT scan to rule out appendicitis, and an ultrasound to rule out gall stones. Could all three of these problems be related? If not, what are your thoughts and ideas of possible problems? Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this type of pain and high blood pressure, these includes.
1 Kidney stone, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of kidney .
2 Urinary tract system infection any where from kidney to urethra. As you are complaining that there was retention of water and high blood pressure , so chance of renal involvement .Diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of urine for infection.
3 Chronic renal failure , diagnosis can be confirmed by M R I of kidney. As you mentioned in your query that there is water retention and high blood pressure since January i.e.10 months passed . Diagnosis can be confirmed by serum for creatinen and blood urea examination.
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion at earliest.
Good luck. Dr. HET
