I have a serious medical issue and I'm hoping you all can help...

I didn't want to go to the doctor yet because I don't want to run to him for every little pain, but I just wanted to know if this sounds familiar to any of you. After I eat only a bite or two, I get this terrible pain around the middle right side, kind of between my side and my stomach. It happened last night after I had some cheese, and tonight after one piece of celery. Last night I didn't think anything of it until it happened tonight. Also, last night my legs started getting edema, and it hasn't gone away. I know the kidneys are in your back, but could this be my gallbladder (I am embarassed to say that I don't know exactly where it is located), or something else. Can anyone shed any light on this, or is this just another episode of "this too shall pass"... Please help me if you can.
