pain on the right side
(15 Apr 2008)

One of the first things you need to decide is what kind of pain you are experiencing. There are several types of pain one can experience. Some are internal, and it is not possible for a lay person to decide the cause of this pain.

The other type of pain is external, which is to say that it is due to some sort of trauma or injury that has occurred. Sometimes, the simple act of sleeping in the wrong posture can cause a great deal of pain as well. It is also possible that you may be sleeping on a surface that is not properly suited to your body and this is causing you pain. Sometimes, an excessively soft bed can also be the cause of this kind of one sided body ache. There is also the probability that you may have injured yourself and not noticed it too much. Sometimes, you may bump into something that can cause an injury that is not always immediately apparent or visible. This is the kind of injury that can fester on the inside and cause a great deal of discomfort and pain at a later time. Try and see if you can determine which of these categories your pain falls under.

If you are suffering from internal pain, then your only option is to consult a doctor. It is unwise to try and treat this on your own, as it could have more and severe ramifications. If you have inadvertently sprained a muscle, pulled a ligament or have some other problem relating to these, then these conditions are big enough to affect your whole right side. In such a case you should not delay seeking medical help; otherwise the problem could grow further. In any case, you can try a few remedial measures and eliminate some obvious possibilities of the condition you are experiencing. Take warm to hot showers, and let the shower spray beat down on your right side. This will help relax and loosen your muscles. It will also help to ease your pain to some extent. You can also apply a regularly available over the counter muscle relaxant and pain reliever to the particularly painful areas, which will help in providing you with some relief. Try not to do too much of work with your right arm and leg. Ultimately, while suffering from any kind of pain, the best way to deal with it is to give your body rest. Time and adequate rest are the best and simplest kind of healers.

Cures for Body Pain

Any aches or pains in any part of the body could signify a wide variety of ailments. Diagnosing any ailment requires careful attention to detail. Diagnosis would depend on the nature of the pain, the exact location of the pain, and the duration for which the pain has been present, whether it comes and goes or is constant. At times the pain or ache could be caused by trauma to the region in the recent past or even years before.

A pain on the right side is too broad a symptom for a diagnosis and accordingly for any form of treatment. The pain could be in the right side of the head, or the abdominal region, the ribs, the back, chest or the neck. The pain could also be a mild ache or a dull pain, or a sharp pain that comes and goes or is constant. It could be a sign of something as serious as a heart attack or something as mundane as ‘Tietze's Syndrome', a condition that involves inflammation of the rib cage and generally resolves without any intervention. A pain in the upper right side of the abdomen could be a sign of chronic or acute gallbladder disease. Diseases afflicting the liver, right kidney, appendix or right ovary would also show symptoms like pain in the right abdominal areas. Visiting a doctor is most important for a quick diagnosis as a serious disorder would require prompt treatment.
