question: I am having pain in my upper abdomen that had been getting worse for 3 days. I had my gull bladder out in May of last year, so I know this is not the issue. The pain is located right below my right ribcage and to the right and it feels like it is deep not just under the skin like a bruise. I have PVC's and they are acting up today a lot. I have had a lot of soft bowel movements over the last couple of days. More than normal for someone who does not have their gull bladder. I don't think I am running a fever. The pain seems to get better if I lay down in the fetal position or if I lean foward while sitting up. I have had elevated AST levels during my last 2 blood screenings. I think they were 57 or 67. What do you think
