My mother has bad pains near her lower ribs on her right side, near her back. this has been going on for five hours and we aren't sure what it is.

Examination needed: These symptoms are consistent with an acutely inflamed gall bladder with stones. Kidney stone is a less likely cause of her symptoms. Bring your mother to the hospital emergency room where prompt evaluation, including an ultrasound of the abdomen, will be done.
