Hi everyone.  I have a feeling under my right rib cage like something isn't in the right place.  I feels like when I was pregnant and had a foot in my rib cage!  Ha.  Has anyone else experienced this discomfort?  I wouldn't call it painful at all but like I need to move something.  Could it be gallbladder, liver, something?  It isn't constant either.  Thought I'd check with you veterans before I visit the doctor since it doesn't seem to be a huge ordeal.  I wonder if it's just from rearranging my insides?

yes,it could be your gallbladder. That is classic gallbadder pain.

I had pressure, not pain, sort of like a fullness for a few months under my right rib cage.  My surgeon said it was likely my gallbladder, but as long as there was no pain, we would hope it would resolve.  It did.  I hope the same for you.  But if you have pain, you should visit your doc.
