What Causes Pain, Tenderness And Discomfort On The Left Side Of Upper Abdomen?

I have pain and discomfort on the left side of my upper abdomen Between my side and my front middle. It is tender to the touch and hurts when I turn a certain way. I have had some gall bladder issues but no pain... Just nausea and acid reflux ... Could this area be my gall bladder ?? Or is it the wrong side
