What causes pain under right breast radiating to back?

For a few weeks, I've been feeling pain under my right breast, and sometimes it radiates all the way to my back. It's not constant but quite sharp when it occurs. My sister told me to get it checked, so I'm a bit worried.

I totally get it, that radiating pain from the front to the back can be absolutely exhausting and scary. I have been through this discomfort myself, and it makes doing daily chores so difficult. Please take some rest and don't hesitate to see a doctor soon to find relief.

I just recovered from this exact issue last month! For me, it turned out to be gallstones, which was causing a sharp pain under my right rib that went straight to my shoulder blade. Please go get an ultrasound done quickly so you can get the right treatment.

Hey! Pain radiating from the right side under the breast to the back is a classic sign of gallbladder inflammation or stones. Try to avoid eating any fatty or oily foods for now as it can trigger the pain. It is best to consult a doctor for a quick scan.

Hey there! Try not to worry, but definitely don't ignore this radiating pain. It is often just a severe muscle spasm or gas, but sometimes our gallbladder is the culprit. Just visit a doctor to get a quick checkup and you'll feel much better! Take care!

I usually try drinking warm lemon water or fennel tea to ease right-side chest and back discomfort if it is just gas. However, because this pain is radiating to your back, it could be a liver or gallbladder issue. Please skip the home remedies this time and consult a doctor.

Agree with others, this radiating pain is very typical of gallbladder issues. Please get an abdominal ultrasound done to be sure.
