I have a pain on my right side under my breast and beginning of rib.

That depends on where exactly the pain is in your side. Pain from the gall bladder would be high, pretty much directly behind where the rib cage stops. I just had my gall bladder removed and that's were my pain was. I also had low grade fevers with rashes, head aches and indigestion. My pain was more of a constant throbbing pain. Pain from the appendix would be much lower down on your side I would think.

I am no doctor though, but you might want to get that checked out, you just never know.

My wife has pain in the entire right side of her body, head to toe including having her heart racing. What could that be?

I have Pain  bY my Rib Not Strong hurt a bit on the right side would like to know what it is

If it is your appendix it will hurt a lot more to lift your right leg.
The pain should also be relived when you put pressure on it, and hurt  when you remove it

I had pain in my right side and I found out in Oct of 2009 I have lms cancer and it had travled to my Liver...Please make sure they do a CT Scan that is the only way they found my cancer.Thank you

I had my appendix removed last yr almost dieing ive had 2 surgeries in the same year  my appendix almost burst.. I was in school but the teachers never believed me I'm currently suffering migraine head aches but I am having pains near where my appendix was and it freaks me out I can't sit up for more than five minutes if I do when I lie back down my back and side kill!!! Like bad pains and I'm sick of going to the hospital or doctors almost I know most of the nurses but this time I need 2 find out before I go to my doctors

From when I was 12 to when I was 18 I had severe pain on the right side of my body round the appendix and stomach area - lower right side to middle. Every 6 months it would feel like someone was twisting a knife into me for 3 days. I always went to bed, spoke to no-one, toughed it out and was OK for 6 more months.

At 18 I was explaining my condition to a "hippie chick" called Moon. She told me to cut out red meat. So, I did. I'm now 55, mostly vegetarian since Moon and still have my Appendix in and never had pain since!!

I'm no Doctor but.... You want to take a good hard look at the undesirable side effects of eating too much meat. Funnily enough most Doctors won't tell you about that. Oh, and I've seen a doctor about 6 times total in my life!

Stay away from Doctors and you'll live longer. At least in the US of A.
