Hello. I am experiencing a dull pain above my right hip bone - in the fleshy part of abdomen area - feels like bruise, but nothing is there - when I press it, it is hard to the touch - when I lay on my right side, hurts quite a bit. I am a hashimoto s disease/hypothyroid patient - what is causing this?
