Nerve pain irritation?
Hello,
maybe you can calm me down a bit. I have a strange feeling in my right flank area. I don't feel any pain, it feels more like above and as if there was a hand on it, or a wet washcloth, I can't describe it any other way. When I tap in the area or lightly tap on the ribs, nothing hurts and it doesn't feel like an organ either. It all started about five weeks ago. I was lying on the couch and watching TV slightly turned. It started lightly and feels like a skin fold or layer of fat is "stuck" under the last rib as if you want to straighten up. It was only in that lying position back then. Over time, it's also during the day now. Overnight when I'm lying in bed, it's completely gone and also the first hours during the day. The feeling also comes when I lie on a softer mattress. When I sit on the sofa and bend my legs, it also comes. Bathing helps. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to go to the doctor again, I'm a hypochondriac, I feel like they might laugh at me in the office for something like this. Could it be a nerve radiating from the back, even though I don't have specific back pain? Recently at the orthopedist, scoliosis was diagnosed at the level of the thoracic spine. And I had very strong tension in the hip flexor, which radiated down to the thigh under the inguinal ligament, by the way also on the right side back then, now it's also on the right side. Can the hip flexor radiate all the way up? Like I said, it's under the last rib, sometimes directly in the waist and sometimes it also pulls more towards the abdomen, but more in the flank. What can I do?
Best regards
