well that sounds unpleasant. nothing like a little nagging pain to ruin one's day. the problem is a lot of conditions could cause the pain you're describing. anything from gallstones to a pulled muscle. if it's bothering you enough your best bet is to get an exam from your primary care provider. he or she can try to rule out anything serious. if you spike a fever that's an entirely different matter. in that case you'd want to seek medical attention as soon as possible. meanwhile you might want to try to figure out if anything specifically aggravates the pain or causes it to flare up. exercise? eating? having a bowel movement? drinking alcohol? these could all be important clues to help your medical provider diagnose the problem. feel better!
