I can't believe that some one else finally know what kind of pain I have!!!!! You can not even undersatand how happy I am right now. I started having that pain while I was pregnant with my second child (4 years ago) I thought that It had something to do with pregnancy. I kept telling my doctor, and finally six weeks after she was born he ordered a sonogram for my gallbladder... nothing! Since then I have had 3 sonograms, and one trip to the E.R. because of that pain. They said acid reflux, and told me I was stressed out with the new baby( my third child was 9 months old) and gave me a shot of morphine that did not really help! Everytime I mention it to my doctor(S) they tell me it is just acid reflux(which I have never had a problem with... ever!) Mine is that same burning sensation that comes, and goes!! And it's under my right rib. Please let us know what your doctor suggest, so I can ask my doctor about it, without the funny look of(I don't know what you mean?!%&?) Wendy
