Question:
What could be causing a sore feeling below my right breast, underneath my rib cage?

I am 14 months out and having a sore feeling underneath my rib cage on the right side. Thank you!    — T W. (posted on April 22, 2003)

You didnt mention if they removed your Gall Bladder during surgery. If not you need to look at if the pain stays in the same place or if it follows around to your back, also if it occurs after eating certain foods. It could be an issue with your Gall Bladder and you might consider having it checked out.

do you have a gullbladder? I don't know but if you have fast weight loss it can cause gull stones. but you should ask your doctor. my doctor gave meds to prevent the stones. you really should ask your doc. it may be nothing.

Sounds like the Gall Bladder, I had the same symptoms at about 8 months post op, man.... it only got worse. I had to have my gall bladder taken out, but it's out and I'm all better no pain..... Is the pain sort of like a dull pain ? like a pain that you would have gotten when you were a kid that either laughed to hard or ran to hard or to long ? ... That's how described my pain.... It also felt like someone was standing behind me pull on my bra...... man not a good feeling. But I'm all better now.. Go to the doctor's have him to a test on you. Better safe then sorry.

could be anything from a gall bladder issue to a pulled muscle to a shifted rib-head. Check with your doctor :>)
