A member asked:
I have been having pain on the upper right side just under the edge of my ribcage. at times it hurts through to my back. could it be my gall bladder?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Family practice : It could very well be your gallbladder. Stay on a bland diet until seen. If pain is constant go to the er. Otherwise have your dr see you. He/she will order an u/s and lab studies to determine cause of pain.
