Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
The location of the pain, if it is mostly upper right and goes around to your back, is where the gall bladder (and liver) are. And near the middle of the abdomen is where the duct from the pancreas and the common bile duct (which drains the liver/gall bladder) enter the small intestine.
You may be having gall bladder colic or a gall bladder stone.
I asked about fevers as that would make diagnosis more urgent.
For #5 you wrote Darker and with XXXXXXX I am not sure what XXXXXXX are - explain please?
Also, I meant to ask - any travels outside the US? Did the symptoms start after that?
I recommend you have a liver function panel done (AST, ALT, Alk Phos, bilirubin) along with pancreatic amylase and lipase levels (which checks for pancreatic function). Also a complete blood count (CBC) to make sure there is no infection going on. Then an abdominal ultrasound to have a look at your gall bladder and liver would be recommended - this can give a good look at the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.
