Dull Ache On Right Side Of Abdomen

[EmilyIsSleeved 6]

I was just wondering if anyone has had this same type of situation or had any idea what is causing this problem:

Lately I have been noticing that when I sit up (especially when driving), I get this pain on the right side of my abdomen. The pain occurs a few inches below my breast. I don't really know how to describe the pain...it isn't stabbing pain, but more of like a deep dull ache. I know it isn't muscles healing or whatever because I talked to my doctor and he said my muscles should be completely fine now (I am almost 3 months out). What I find weird about the whole thing is that if I push my fingers where the pain is or if I lay down, the pain goes away within maybe 20 seconds. It is just kind of frustrating. Just wanted to make sure you guys didn't have this problem and then find out it was something serious.

Do u have your gallbladder?

Gallbladder is a good thing to check out. Also liver - I used to get liver pains there (this was before surgery, though). I don't know why it would go away when you push it in.

Are they going to do any sort of imaging to check it out?

I do still have my gallbladder. The doctor didn't seem worried because he said if it was my gallbladder I would be in much more pain. I am not having any tests done because the doctor seems to think that if i know how to make the pain go away and it isn't really severe, then it can't be much of an issue. I also have no clue why the pain goes away when I press on the area.
