Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I am usually a lurker and have only posted once or twice. I read that some have a pain in their right upper (or is that lower) quadrant. I am embarassed to say that I am not sure where this is. I have had a pain on one spot on my right hip radiating toward the back. I don't feel it all the time, just if I touch it or do something such as getting out of the car, I feel a twinge. Thank you, Kim UC 1982 PSC 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to a picture better showing exactly where the abdominal quadrants are http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/19578.jpg As for the pain you are experiencing, I am not sure what it is without hearing more of your medical history. Could be a number of things if it is RLQ pain. One of the more common cause of RLQ pain is appendicitis and constipation. But again I dont know about your history so I couldn't say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Forgot to mention when I get my RUQ pain it is generally right at the line of my ribcage, in response to PSC symptoms I am experiencing. > > > > I am usually a lurker and have only posted once or twice.
