Can Gallbladder Problem Cause Abdominal Pain And Greenish Stools?
I am having right upper quadrant pain on and off. The pain feels almost under my rib where it meets the sternum and at times it radiates to my upper back near my scapula. Whenever I have this pain my stool is green. Could I have a problem with my gallbladder?

Hello
Right sided abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like liver,gall bladder pathology,renal pathology etc.
It is also important to exclude cardiac and musculoskeletal causes of pain.
You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME,ECG in all leads,stool RE/ME and ultrasound of abdomen.
Upper GI endoscopy can be done if needed.It may be related to dyspepsia.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
