I had pain like that with my gall bladder. It just sort of comes and goes.

I had TERRIBLE back pain in one spot on my right side lower neck. It was because when I lost weight I stand different and the body adjusts. I saw a chiropractor for a few sessions (spread out) and it helped a lot! Try a chiropractor. I use one that uses an "activator" vs cracking.

If it doesn't get better soon, please see an orthopedist. You could need physical therapy or a chiropractor. Good luck!

I have the same pain - comes and goes - it reminds me of my gallbladder pain - but mine was removed 13 years ago. I am planning on talking to my surgeon at my next appointment. It really bothers me a lot when I stand too long. Haven't been able to tell if something is triggering the pain. Good luck and e-mail me if you find out something thanks
