A member asked:

Ruq pain off and on. no gallbladder. have gerd/acid reflux. could gerd cause pain slightly to right of middle of chest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes it could. So could ulcer pain, pain in your colon, liver problems and other issues. In addition, right sided pneumonias or even chest injury/strain can cause it. So, there are many things that can cause pain to the right of midline, even without a gall bladder!
