Certainly a possibility, and the most likely one; need some info pls

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The gall bladder is indeed a possibility ma'am, but could you also tell me about the following:

+Any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, increased pain after eating a meal (Especially a fatty meal), etc.?
+Pain also towards the back or more towards the back
+Any irregularities in your bowel movements like diarrhoea or constipation, etc.?
+Abdominal bloating?

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
