gallbladder position

Featured Replies

If I press under my right rib where the ribcage ends, I feel this crunchy feeling under my fingers that shifts around.

 

I wonder if I could be pressing on gallstones, or whether this is anatomically impossible given where I'm pressing my fingers.

 

Is the gallbladder under the 10th rib? Is my suspicion the most likely one?

 

thx

I think gallstones don't react on pressing, they cause pain when

they obstruct the duct. Typically after eating fatty meals.

However, when the gallbladder is infected or sore you might feel it

with the finger pressing below the last right rib upwards

If you are concerned about it you should see a doctor.

If you don't know the answer to the question, no need to comment.
