Biliary colic: You can still have biliary colic (pain, spasm, and obstruction) in your bile ducts) after your gall bladder has been removed. Alternative possibilities include a kidney stone, hepatitis, muscle spasm, and pleurisy. You need more tests.

Kidney stones: You are 34 years old and have right flank pain that won't let you get comfortable. Consider a kidney stone. You live in east haven so you can go to yale or st. Raphael's. Your doctor will ask if you find anything that makes the pain go away or of you find a way to get comfortable. A non contrast ct will show if you have stones and a stronger NSAID may help. Drink lots of fluids, no soda.
