Upper stomach pain

I am 3 and 1/2 years out from open surgery.  I have had pain starting below my left rib and radiating into my back for about a month now.  It bothers me whenever I eat and sometimes even when I have not eaten.  I had the similar pain last September and this summer briefly.   Each episode seems to be worse.  It was just uncomfortable at first, but now it doubles me over in pain.  I had a gall bladder scan and stomach ultrasound on Wednesday.  Too early for results, but I am so afraid it will show no reason for my pain.  Anyone had similar experience?

I had those same symptoms when I had gallstones and needed my gallbladder out.  I hope you get to feeling better!!!

I got the results on Tuesday.  It is Gall Bladder.  Even though all the pain has been on my left side.  I am so glad to know.  But my surgeon wants to see me again before scheduling surgery.  He wants to be sure there is not something else, too.
