GallStone-Kidney sto: Your doctor may be right, pain under right rib area or below right shoulder blade can be a gall stone or a kidney stone as well. Both can be sharp. Kidney stone mat radiate downwards toward the groin, gallstones mat radiate backward. Either case a good sonogram of the area with a urinanalysis and some blood tests may be helpful.
