Pressure Pain: The pain from a gallbladder attack is distinct from most other causes of abdominal pain. The pain tends to be severe, unrelenting, pressure-like pain, typically localized to the right upper- or midline upper abdomen. The pain may radiate around the right side to the back and/or shoulder. The pain usually does not wax-and-wane: it is "steady", then completely gone typically w/in 1 hr.

The pain does not wax-and-wane: it is usually steady and unrelenting, and may go away as quickly as it started, typically within 1 hour.
