Hello,
gallbladder issues can cause pain in the RUQ just below your rib cage. Typically the pain is aching which radiates to right shoulder or around to the back. It frequently is associated with greasy fatty food but can be present with any foods or none at all. If you have known gallstones it is likely a symptomatic cholelithiasis or a chronic cholecystitis , both of which are indications for a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal surgery)
