I have been having some sharp pain just to the right of my breast bone. I'm thinking its a hernia or something. From what I've read.. gallbladder pain is usually in the back right? Also the gall bladder would be to the left of the back bone? I just hope it's not gallbladder.. they will have to go back in right? <p>Take Care, Be Well, Be Happy!

See your doc about any unexplained pain. Gallbkladder pain shows up differently in many people and is hard to pin down. Get it checked out.

I agree with Bob - see your doctor NOW! Pain is different for each body. As far-fetched as it might seem even an appendisitis can cause pain in the upper regions and gets misdiagnosed sometimes because of it. Could be a hernia, gall-bladder, irritated digestion, etc. Could be nothing, but why risk it?
