Brief Answer:
Gallstones.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Such pain is very characteristic for gallstones. You may have nausea with the pain. Fatty foods can make this pain worse.
I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound done. If gallstones will be confirmed, surgery is necessary to remove gallbladder.
In a meanwhile please avoid fatty, spicy and fried foods.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
