It may still be: Related to gallbladder, however severe gastritis and pancreatitis are possibilities. To eliminate the gallbladder entirely a nuclear hida scan is necessary. Take 2 otc pepcid, or zantac (ranitidine) daily for a 7-10 day trial. Contact your doctor if no improvement.

It may somatic pain : Ruq, subcostal muscle pain could be another reason too. Hida scan may help to rule out gall bladder disease and i doubt.
