Sore Side / Ribs

Morning everyone,

Does anyone else get a pain in their side, about half way up on the right hand side? Not on the stomach but around the side?

I have had all sorts of tests, usual bloods, two sets of ultrasound of liver, kidneys, gallbladder etc and they have all come normal.

My GP said he can't pin it down to anything more than arthritic aches and pains.

Its a bit annoying, I can live with it, it isn't agony or anything but it does sometimes get me a bit down!

Anyway, just though I would ask and see if anyone else had it too! I know you can get an inflammation of the ribs, but it looks to me like that occurs normally at your breastbone / sternum rather than the other end?

    Hi
    Sorry I cant offer much help, the only thing I have had was rib pain, it wasn't in the sternum though, it was more to the side, but they never found out what was causing it.
    I was told it was probably Arthur...but it just disappeared on its own...hope someone else can offer you more help.
    Love
    Barbara

    Thanks guys, I've not really had a muscle spasm before but I am assuming I would know if I had??

    Yeah I don't have any pain in my sternum at all, just on my right hand side towards the bottom of my ribcage. Its a nuisance, don't like sleeping on that side at all anymore :(
