Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

Upper Abdominal Pain?

Since last night, I've had this bad abdominal pain in my upper right side. I don't have a gallbladder or appendix. Could this be endo? Most of my endo pain has been lower abdominal pain, or a nagging pain around my stomach.

It could be, there are many areas that could be painful due to endo. Hope you feel better soon!

I have endo on my liver and diaphragm, and when my pain flares it up it's predominantly all my right side, from my appendix all the way up until mid ribcage.

If it's not your usual pain you could ask your doctor about it, or at least keep a record of it.

Hope you feel better!

Ugh...I hope it isn't on my liver. My pain is intermittent. Does your endo on your liver/diaphragm cause symptoms besides pain?

For my liver it's really just the pain, and it comes and goes. I'd put it at a 4-5 on a scale of 1-10. For my diaphragm I get pain and my chest becomes tight, and for some reason my right rhomboid hurts with it.

The pain really goes up to insane levels during my period, but other than that I don't seem to have any other symptoms. At least I'm not yellow or anything lol

I sometimes get this pain. I've been told mine is not endo related, but that it's from the scar tissue from my previous surgery. I had a naturopathic doctor tell me it's natural to have pain there when I'm having endo issues because it's all secondary to the inflammation and my body's response. Hope you start feeling better.

Interesting! I have that upper right pain as well. I too, no longer have a gallbladder. I experienced quite a bit of pain on my upper left side after my lap on 9/21. It has decreased quite a bit but I did have it today. My post-op visit is on Thursday, I will ask my doc about it.
