What Causes Severe Pain In The Stomach, Back And Under The Rib Cage?

I have been having severe pain in my stomach, back and under my right rib cage for about a month. I was in the hospital last year for Pancreatitis and they said my gall bladder may have been the problem but were not sure. I was also told my GB was only putting out around 16%. They decided not to remove it but now I am have the same problems as before. Should I have it removed and will this cure or stop most of the problems I am having now. I eat and it starts hurting about 30 minutes after words. Some attacks last an hour and some for a day depending on what I eat. Sounds to me like this is what the issue is. My GB.

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the gall bladder at the cause then it will be diagnosed with the different tests like ultrasonography, CT abdomen and blood enzyme test, if the doctor said that it could be gall bladder and not sure then it may not be the cause of your abdomen pain but it could be colicky abdomen pain and it could be due to dyspepsia, (Digestive dysfunction ) it could be due to anxiety and depression, you have the light diet, no oily food fatty food, and stop worrying, I actually treating such patient with Chlordiazepoxide with Clinidium twice in day, you can discuss about this with your doctor, else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
