Hi ! As your pain is severe at times, it needs to be investigated properly. I think you should get yourself reviewed by your family physician who after examining you clinically, may advise for an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any gall bladder stone/disease, liver diseases, kidney stone, or any other intra-abdominal pathology for further management. Wishing you an early recovery.
