Liver....or maybe not....
Get this heavy-tight pain just below my right rib, sometimes if breathe in can feel it pressing....No orals used. On milk thistle. But symptoms not like w/ any hypo toxicity: skin same color, good sleep, good appetite, strong in the gym, not loosing weight...subsides every now and then, but restores again...been ther for about 3 months now
wtf? any suggestions...

What are you using? Do you drink alcohol a lot?

i been off for a year...usual cycles were test+eq...never used orals as such, xcept anavar like 4 years ago just to try (2 weeks only)...
training natural but of course lotsa protein, cycling creatine, glutamine, multivits, etc...

Have you gained weight in the midsection? I know when I go off the diet and eat all I can and my stomach gets bigger I get pains in the ribs as well. I think its from expansion of the midsection and the body not being used to the overeating. My .02

The worst case scenario would be your liver being inflamed. The liver itself doesn't have pain receptors but there is a membrane around it that when the liver swells will cause a dull heavy pain in the area. Personally, I'd go get your enzyme levels checked to see if they are elevated, if they are then they'll probably do an ultrasound to check for any tumors or lipid deposits.

This may sound crazy, but consider'd go to a Dr?
From the sounds of you AAS use its not anything to do w/ that.

LOL I was thinking the same thing.
Also I would ask are you taking any or have been taking any NSAIDs? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-steroidal_anti-inflammatory_drug
Or drinking a lot? Especially drinking and taking NASIDs.

Agreed. D-bol don't even take a chance with your health. I'm not trying to scare you, but I had a really good friend a few years back that was having liver pain and just ignored it. He ended up passing out, and we had to take him to the hospital. When they concluded their tests they found that his liver had failed due to advanced hepatitis. He ended up getting a liver transplant. Just be on the safe side and get checked out. Tell your Doc that you have used gear and be honest with him so he can do an honest assessment of the problem. You are probably OK, but don't take a chance. This last cycle I ran I was using just 35mg dbol and had mild pain under my right rib. I quit the dbol after four weeks and felt fine. I had a full examination and blood work and everything checked out fine. Dont risk your health bro!

thanks for the feedback everyone...
will have it checked out
im not drinking, although back in my college days (5years ago) i was regularly getting trashed
what i find funny (and disturbing) is that i have none of the common hypotoxicity symptomes, like black circles, yellowish eyes, hardened liver or increased size liver, no energy deficiency, good sleep, good appetite....i presume its from high protein dieting - i averge about 1.5-1.8g per pound of body weight per day natural

Not to be a smart ass, but did you take your liver out to see if it increased in size or is harder? ???
Bro, seriously get it checked out. My aunt had a liver transplant 15 years ago and at that time, they told her she had 5 years. After seeing what she went thru, I will always be sure to have myself checked yearly, if not every six months.
When you say natural, are you taking a bunch of supps too? Meaning, some supps can be hard on your liver as well...
Happy health to you man....

As others have mentioned, why haven't you seen a Doc yet?
When in doubt, see a doctor.
It might have nothing to do with AAS.
