Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 URQ = Upper Right Quadrant, where most of the liver resides. Bloated and full feelings are caused by the liver being enlarged. Frequently, during a cholangitis episode, the pain is described as in the URQ, radiating to the back. The upper left quadrant is where you feel pain (excruciating) during pancreatitis. Lower back pain is completely different, in my experience (I've had back surgery). Hope this helps - take care.

What is URQ and the bloating and fullness and pain are symptoms I guess? I am beginning to wonder if the pain my husband experiences for many years in the lower back and takes ultram for is from URQ.
