Brief Answer:
gallstones

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Your symptoms are very characteristic for gallstones. The pain is usually triggered by a meal.
As there is a risk of gallbladder inflammation, please do not wait with it.
Consult your doctor, have abdominal ultrasound and liver tests.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.

Regards.

I was admitted to the hospital the following day, in which I had a CT Scan and a Sono of my upper right quad of my stomach and Liver done and there were no findings. I've already had my Gallbladder removed last year. I still experience some pain there, but only when I'm yelling at my grand kids.

Brief Answer:
.

Detailed Answer:
How about liver tests? Gallstones can be present in the bile ducts even if there is no gallbladder. Pancreas can also give such pain.
If you have a scar in the pain area, hernia should be considered.
Pain while yelling can be associated with rib nerves problem. It can be caused by spine problems. However nausea are not characteristic for it.
Please consult gastrologist as your problem seems to be in digestive tract.
