no thats not due to gall stones. Before I had my gall bladder taken out, there was massive pressure and pain in my upper abdomen. I felt pain in my lower back and upper hips when I found out I had a cyst on my ovalry. I would get it checked.

My doctors told me that these symptoms vary from person to person. My personal experience was that I felt like I was having a heart attact. My heart would pound so hard you could see it beating through my shirt. And all the pain was in my chest. I was mis-diagnosed 2 times before they got it right at the ER. By then though, I was turning yellow because of my liver not working properly. Things go through your gallbladder first, then through your liver. If it can't get through the gallbladder, it doesn't make it through the liver. Which is why I turned yellow like paitients that have a bad liver. I also could not eat or drink anything. Nothing would go down. I had stones stopping it from entering my stomic. Not even a tiny sip of water would make it through. I also felt very sick and nausious.
When I have pain where you say, it's been my kidneys. Maybe you have a kidney infection. Try drinking LOTS of water. When I do this, and it is my kidneys, I feel better by the next day. So, try that. And if it works, great. If not, I would make and appointment with your doctor. Hope this helps you.

This does not sound like a gallbladder attack. Gallbladder pain is usually felt up under the lower right ribs and radiates up the breast bone or up between the shoulder blades. You may want to consider kidney stones though.

That is possible. When I had mine, in my upper right ribcage, it felt like a dull knife stabbing me from the inside out. I'd never felt such pain. It also moved around to my back and up between my shoulders. Also, age has nothing to do with it, I was 16 when I had my first attack. Go see a doctor and get that thing out! It is putting toxins in the rest of your system.
Good Luck!

I thought your gall bladder was higher than that but I may be wrong. It could also be a kidney infection. You should see your doctor.

No, those are not gallbladder symptoms. I would think it's more to do with your lower back, or your reproductive system. Contact a doc if the pain is bad.

It varies. For me lower back pain that radiated up my shoulder. The pain got so bad that I ended up in the emergency room and it was diseased and removed. See your Dr.
