What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen And Back?
Over the last few days, I have had a gradual building pain in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen. It is persistent, dull, and achy. It lessens somewhat at night time. After I eat anything, it becomes moderate stabbing/throbbing pain for a while. It is located under my ribcage. The pain radiates towards my back. It does not change or increase with stretches or other movements and I am certain it isn t a muscle strain. It feels like it s further inside. I have experienced loss of appetite, fatigue, and occasional dizziness, but no nausea or vomiting, and my bowel movements are normal. What could this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your liver or gall bladder.
Go for ultra sound abdomen,
Go for Liver function tests.
After reports plan of treatment can be decided.
Ok and take care.
