Yes: Gallstones can cause pain under the right rib cage which can go to the back, as well as nausea vomiting and indigestion. If the symptoms are frequent the best option is usually surgical removal.

Yes: If the gallstone lodges in the distal infundibulum, this will result in pain related to attempts of the body to pass the stone. Usually requires surgery.

Yes: Gallstones can cause pain when the GB attempts to contract to empty the bile it stores that the liver makes. The GB squeezes in response to a fatty meal to help digest your food. If you are having right upper quadrant pain especially after meals, see a surgeon to get evaluated. You may need surgery. Good luck!
