Gallstones: If your pain in in the right upper abdomen - certainly gallstones could be the cause. If the stone is small it MAY pass and your pain will go away. However, if it is too large - your pain will continue and if its small but not small enough it can get trapped in the ducts. Its best that you consult with a doctor and be examined

A sonogram: of the abdomen will check for gallstones and other abnormalities. Some routine blood work is also helpful in identifying a blockage and or infection in the gall bladder/pancreas area.

See a Clinican ASAP: The best initial way to assess your symptoms is to undergo a painless abdominal ultrasound. Your doctor may order lab work or other tests to help determine the cause of your symptoms so they can be properly treated. Nothing good comes from doing nothing. Take Care!
