It could be a number of things. Under the right ribcage is where the liver and gallbadder are located. Pain that radiated through to the shoulder blades could be gallstones. Pain just under the right ribs could indicate a liver problem or pulled muscle. If you are pregnant and that pain is accompanied by headaches, blurred vision, hypertension and edema, see your care provider immediately as this may be a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

I have a pain on my lower right side under my ribs that hurts mostly while I sleep It is most likely your liver. Go get that checked out. You might have liver cancer. Feel better.

Growing pains. I am 17 and I get these fairly often. Unless it's hurting terribly, it's not something to worry about.

I have that right now. Up until today I had a spasm feeling in that area that has been going on for a few months. My ultrasound was O.K .

My pain had been a mild anoyance until now, but sharp pain under the right rib cage, sometimes with vomiting usually is the Gallbladder.
