Hi, thank you for posting.

Severe abdominal pain causes are different. From what you refer I think that you have gallbladder problems.

Gallbladder is affected by different infection(bacterial and parasitic) that causes a gallbladder bulge.
Gallbladder blockage causes severe abdominal and back pain, nausea.
The second cause is gallstone.
These causes are treatable and you don't have to worry.

To diagnose your problem you need:
-Abdominal ultrasound(that you've done).
-Abdominal Ct scan.
-Fiberoptic gastrointestinal endoscopy.
-Blood test, blood sediment rate.
-Liver function test.

You should contact a gastroenterologist.
