In pain on my right side
I'm 19 year old female and I been having a pain in my right lower abdominal for a month now two weeks after it traveled to my back well right behind that spot and just a week ago my right side like my ribs area will hurt when I laughed or breathed in. Two days after it just got worse it just hurt without doing anything and I feel it right above my stomach under my breast area. Well I just been feeling alot of pain and I never cry ever for anything emotional or pain but one day I hurt so bad they just came out. Also they have done an ultra sound the first week of me feeling my lower abdominal pain and they said everything looked good. Idk if my drs an idiot or there's nothing wrong but I been in alot of physical pain for awhile now and I just want it to go away. So if anyone can help me out or if they nothing anything to this I'd really like to hear what you have to say. Ty

You should seek a second opinion from a specialist, if your health insurance allows you to do so without a referral. If you need a referral then you need to ask you PCP for one.
The specialist I would recommend would be an Internist, Gastroenterologist or a liver and Kidney specialist. I would suggest one of the first two as they cover all of the important organs that might be causing your pain.
There are a number of different test that can be run to see if you have gall stones, Kidney stones or a liver problem. Most likely the least invasive and least painful would be an MRI. If the sonogram was not conclusive than the next step should have been, to my thinking, an MRI since you are still in pain. Then again I am not a doctor.

You should ask another doc to send u for a ultrasound, the area does sound like mayb gaul stones or gaul bladder related, but im not a quack so second opinion for u

The best option in these types of situations is to see a doctor. Fortunately, you have already done that. Your only other option is to get a second opinion. Is there another doctor you can see?
Atleast then you can see if your first doctor got it wrong.
These types of questions are hard to answer, as each country has it's own healthcare system. In the UK, I would suggest someone call NHS direct, or maybe get a second opinion by going private. We also have websites to help with symptoms. Of course, this is all state run, and so can't be used by non British citizens.
In short though, you should try to get a second opinion. It's difficult for me to really go into it further, as I'm not very familiar with US or other healthcare systems.
Good Luck however :)
