Have been severe pain, starting on right side at lower ribs, spreading to the middle of my back. what could be causing this?

Gallbladder: While there can be many reasons for your pain; classically gallbladder pain starts in the upper right abdomen, below the ribs, and can spread to the back. See your physician, and he/she can order an ultrasound to check for this possibility.
