sharp pain under lower right ribs when leaning back, gallbladder already checked?
Hello, I have been having changing symptoms over the past 2 months and it is almost impossible to get a diagnosis. I’ve had endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests. The pain started in my left side lower, It was an ache I could feel it when I would bend down. I had a very swollen vein in my left testicle that morning. The swollen vein went away that day, but the ache lasted for a month. I finally went to the doctor and had a ct scan done, everything was normal except 2mm possible kidney stone in left kidney, which "shouldn’t be causing any pain."
Well now for the past month the right side of my ribs has a bad pain when I lean back, I also feel nauseous throughout the day (I am not sure if this rib pain is making me feel unwell, but I have no desire to puke.) Had a kidney ultrasound and gallbladder ultrasound, all okay.
Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night and feel like my left leg is VERY weak, hard to explain. There is something going on, but I cannot find the answer. I almost feel a numbness senstation somtimes. I do not have much anxiety, mentally I feel fine.. although the last doctor kept saying it was anxiety. Well if that’s true, why can I not even throw a ball without this shooting pain under my right rib? Where do I go from here?
Could there be some sort of blood clot somewhere in my body causing this? What tests should I have done?

I have no ideas on your condition, but if you try this treatment for kidney stones, the apple cider vinegar has many nutritional benefits. Are you eating a balanced diet and not overdoing any one item?
In Herbs of the Earth by Mary Carse, she lists under stones and gravel in the urinary system pertaining to kidneys and the bladder, that these are rare where apple cider or vinegar are a staple of the diet. (I note that this reference does not state whether the vinegar needs to be apple cider vinegar, but the brands in the health food aisle are less processed.
The woman I work for now, says her daughter passed a kidney stone (identified by a doctor) after taking apple cider vinegar. The Braggs brand found in the health food aisle suggests to take 2 teaspoons in water with honey 3 times daily and there is another organic brand called Spectrum.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
In In Apple Cider Vinegar Health System by the Braggs 1985 or 34th printing, it states on p 21:
A large number of kidney stones are of the type that can be dissolved with cider vinegar.
Use cider vinegar freely on salads consisting of cabbage, carrots, celery, beet root, tomatoes, green onions, parsley, cucumbers. Eat prunes, raisins, apples, at the same meal with the cider vinegar on the salad.

Note that neither citation above guarantees that this will work for you, but it may.
