But, after burping the pain returned within a few seconds. Sometimes it felt closer to front or ribcage, sometimes to right side of ribcage under the arm, and for the last 2 days it is consistent on the backfacing side of my right ribcage (on/in my back just inside ribcage).

It is day and night, on and off, and also seems to vary with sleep position. (i.e. worse lying on right side).

It is temporarily relieved by burping, I seem to have an unlimited supply of burps all of a sudden! But then it pain returns again until next burp. Sorry sounds gross and not very lady like.

In between pains, even if I eat yogurt or eat solids or drink water fast, when it goes down it is like the motion of it going down "rubs" against something which makes the pain appear again just for that moment. I know that of course the food goes down more on the left side as that is where stomach is situated, but the discomfort is still felt on the right.

I am on Clarithromycin, Mepron and Bicillin. I also take Milk Thistle for liver along with other LLMD recommended supplements.

Does this sound like a gall-bladder type problem? GERD? (but I haven't had heart-burn problems recently) or ulcer? (but would have thought ulcer pain would be more central or left-sided than rightsided.

Does anyone have ideas or have had the same type thing?

Can't get a doctors appt till Thurs am a bit concerned that I have something that is going to require some invasive type investigation which is what I don't need right now.
