Persisting Pain Post Gall Bladder Removal, Spells Of Abdominal Pain Causing Sweating, Dark Urine. What Could Be Wrong?

I had my gallbladder removed 5 months ago and lately I have been experiencing the same type of pain. Right side abdominal pain below the rib cage and the pain is what I call an "episode" or "attack" that lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. The pain is so intense that I break out in sweats. These past two days I've noticed that my urine has gotten really dark, dark orange. My Dr. said I could have ulcers and has me on Sucralfate. What is wrong with me?
