Pain may be related to gall stones in your case.
You should plan for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is Cholecystectomy(surgical removal of gall bladder).

Apple juice etc are generally not helpful in dissolving gall stones.
Get well soon.
