Hello
Thanks for the query
It can be either your gall bladder or liver which could be causing the pain. However local tenderness strongly goes against these, to know for sure you will have to get an X ray chest Anterior-posterior view and an USG abdomen and pelvis.
Please visit your GP for local examination and further management.
Tab Aceclofenac is a good painkiller in these types of pain
I hope I was of help
