Suggest Treatment For Intense Pain On The Right Side Of The Rib Cage

I am 25, and for the past few years, but in mostly this last year the pain has increased, I have a very intense pain that is in my right side just under my rib cage that feels like someone is stabbing me and the pain radiates through to my back. It bring tears to my eyes, but it doesn t cause me to cry. it happens mostly in the evening, and can last hours. it helps a little when I move, but the pain is always there it just dulls out a little and makes it more bearable instead if almost making me cry, so it goes from about a 9 to a 5 in the pain scale. I have gone to the dr, and the er, but up here the doctors don t seem to really try to do anything but give pain pills, that do not help, or make me feel at ease, so I don t take to pills because they don t do anything. I have in the past been informed that I had gallbladder issues but I changed my diet and things got better. I had another ultrasound a few months back because of the pain, but they said my gallbladder had no gallstones, or sludge at that time, but the pain was still there and VERY intense

Hello!
Your case isnt certain and more investigations needed - start with X rays of thoracic vertebra.
The cure is phisiotherapy at Your age (including exercises for muscle strenght, massage etc.) local anaesthecic gel.
Pain killers decreases symptoms, but dont treat cause
