You will be OK once you get some sunshine under your hat ;-).  Tension?  Have you lifted suitcases or heavy clothing to take with you?

I get intermittent rib sensations right side usually before periods but not always, galdbladder issues are common in meno and peri I cannot recall why.
For me it's a feeling of something caught on a rib or pressure inside my ribcage , where the ribcage curves under the breast, it comes and goes never gets worse so I don't worry about it.

I've just spent several days in hospital after a nasty gallbladder attack and your symptoms sound very familiar!  The backache, if it's between your shoulder blades, can indicate inflammation of the pancreas.  Do go to the GP and soon as you can manage and try and cut down on fat in the meantime

Hello lollipop,

Strained intercostal muscle or trapped wind are other possibilities. If it gets worse when you take a deep breathe then one of those are the culprits. Hope you feel better soon.
