I have been in so much pain on my right side. The doctor's can't find anything and can't give me pain meds, for something they can't find. Is anyone have the same symptons? I am just so tired of hurting for no reason.



GOD BLESS!

    Pain
    Did you have surgery on that side and/or is there any reason at all for the pain? Did you have chemo, radiation? I have had pain on my right side but I also have had surgeries over the years. If you could provide more info maybe someone may have had a similar experience.

    No surgery
    The doctors say that there is nothing on my right side that would hurt. The pain moves to my back on the right side. They have done x-rays,cat scan, ultrasounds and PET scan. And still nothing. I did have radiation and chemo 4 years ago.

    GOD BLESS!

    Is is consistent?
    Could it be gallbladder? I have stones and when I have an attack it hurts right side, and to back, but it is not consistent.

    Kidney Stone
    I had one once and it was on the right side and hurt like crazy. I think if you had that you'd know it. It's very painful.

    It is consistent
    It hurts all the time and some days it hurts worse. I am disabled from the cancer. I have just had the worse luck. But I am still here and even in pain I WILL FIGHT to WIN.

    Scoped?
    Hi, your problem sounds similar to my co-worker (she has never been diagnosed with cancer though). She was having terrible pain in her stomach, especially on her right side. She also noticed some gas, bloating, and inconsistent bowels that tended to be constipated. She is overall healthy with a diet rich in fiber and fruits & veggies.

    She had basically every medical test with no answers. Finally, she was scoped up and down. They found that she had a bacterial infection in her stomach lining that was causing irritation.

    She is now on anti-biotics and medicine (which is causing terrible side-effects).

    Maybe it is time for an endoscopy and colonoscopy to see what's going on inside? Maybe something simple causing all the trouble?

    I hope you find an answer soon. It's terrible to have to live with pain. Good luck.
