A member asked:

Ive had sharp pains in my upper stomach for 3 days. took a laxative last night & felt no relief after the laxative effect. im a female 33 years. ?

Ultrasound: There are few things that cause upper abdominal pain in a healthy young person. Gallstones is one of them and can easily be identified on ultrasound. Also, it may provide a clue to look in other places.
