Question:
I was wondering if any one knows what this pain could be.

For about a week, after everytime I would eat, my stomach would get seriously upset. An hour later, it had died down but it was still there. Last night I had sharp pain on the right side up by the rib cage that seemed to go all the way to the back. It subsided after I went to sleep (at least I fell asleep). Then this morning I was woken up by the pain in the right side that was really sharp again. I will call the nurse but I was wondering if you knew if this was gallbladder or something else? Thanks in advance. 6/27/03 292/207/172    — horserider0146 (posted on November 10, 2003)

Sounds like gallbladder to me. Hopefully your surgeon will get you scheduled for an ultrasound soon to make sure. Good Luck

Oh my God!! IT'S YOUR GALLBLADDER!!!!.......This is too weird, I just went to the hospital last Tuesday for the same exremely awful pain up under my right Rib cage and it shot through to the back and I was MISERABLE..thought I was going to die, called my surgeon, he said get to the hospital ASAP and I did. Sure enough, the ultrasound showed my Gallbladder inflamed with lots stones in it...Now, this Thursday, I undergo surgery to have the little bugger removed...I can't wait, I don't want to go through that pain again!...Please see your doctor and just get the darn thing taken out! Good Luck and God Bless!

That sounds like gallbladder to me too. I'm having mine removed next week.
