A member asked:
Can my gallbladder cause rib and back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is very common for the pain associated with gallbladder to be felt in the right lower chest and through to the back. If the pain comes on after eating, there is a high likelihood that this is from the gallbladder and should be evaluated.
