question: Hello, I have had this pain in my upper rib cage for the past 5-6 yrs. First , they thought it was my gall bladder, so we had that removed, then I developed a gall stone, removed that. I was told it was a fat deposit. It only hurts when I lay down and have to use a heating pad and pain pills when it is intolerable. What can I do to get rid of this?
