Right upper abdomen pain
I am 35 yr old female, going gym and lifting weight under PT from 4 months. From past 1 week i am getting extreme pain in right side upper abdomen.
Initial doctors thought its gas and gave medication. However pain did not subside and intensity increased that had to go to emergency for pain relief. However medicine for muscle relaxation is not effective and pain is very excruciating.
Doctor said that it could be muscle spasm and did some blood tests. In blood test my platelets are extremely high 8.1(normal range is from 1 to 4).
I am due my ultrasound today, but wanted to check what does high platelets mean. Seeking suggestions here

It seems you're experiencing significant pain in your right upper abdomen, which has persisted despite initial treatment. The high platelet count in your blood test could indicate inflammation, infection, or other underlying conditions that require further investigation. Muscle spasms are a possibility, but it's important to rule out other causes, especially since the pain is severe and not responding to medication.
I recommend consulting a specialist for a thorough evaluation, including the results of your ultrasound and blood tests. In the meantime, you might consider avoiding activities that strain your abdominal muscles and steering clear of fried or spicy foods, as they can aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort.

High platelets mean thrombocytosis.
High platelets can cause hypercoagulable state and mesenteric ischaemia causing abdominal colicky pain.
The cause of high platelets needs to be evaluated.
Kindly consult.

A high platelet count (thrombocytosis), typically above 450,000 platelets/microliter, can indicate infection, inflammation, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, liver disease, or blood disorders, requiring medical evaluation and treatment.

Such a high Platelet count suggests that you could be using some of those Protein Powders which the Gym people are very fond of. The Protein Powders may give instant results but are not good in the long run.
You should also look at the other cell counts (RBC &WBC) in your blood report.

There can be multiple reasons. You need to visit a nearby physician
But avoid exertion, high protein diets or supplements, avoid lifting weights till your pain subsides.
