My 18 year old daughter has pain in right-side under rib cage and pain is moving up to shoulders. She had a real hard long period with heavy bleeding about a week ago. Don't know if the 2 are connected

Could be an overy problem and or stomach infection. I am no GP but I have had these.

Have you been to GP- need to see GP really

Hey, I had this also that went on for a few months. The attacks were random and very painful, would start under my right rib and radiate up to my shoulder and down my back, I'd be curled up in a feotus position until it passed. My GP ordered bloods, sent me for an ultrasound and a sigmoidoscopy (which only examines the left side of colon not the right side which was odd) but it all came back clear and eventually it just stopped. They concluded it was my IBS causing strong colon spasms and trapped wind.

Not what you're looking for?
