What Causes Pain In The Upper Right Quadrant Of My Body?

I am having severe pains in the upper right quadrant of my body. They said it is not my gallbladder but may be a flap that goes into the gallbladder getting stuck causing all the pain. How would I find out what it is. they say it is a physical pain not due to an illness. Sometimes I can not even turn my body and it would start hurting for 30 minutes doubled over.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can go for a CT scan of the abdomen to look for any abnormalities or diseases of bowel like gallstones or any internal hernias, which cause persistent pain. Once the bowel conditions has been ruled out, then it may be due to muscular pain. As of now, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
