A member asked:

Sometimes at night just under my ribs on the right side i'll have a fairly sharp pain that seems to throb and will last for about a half hour?

Gallbladder?: That location can be the area of gallbladder pain. There are many other causes of pain, but it would be a good idea to see your physician to have an exam.
