Brief Answer:
Most likely the gall stone!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. With a history of gall stones, the location of this pain and onset after supper makes it typical. If it is so severe, then I will recommends a doctor consult. If the pain is not severe, I recommend a trial of Ibuprofen and Tylenol. However, the best treatment for gall stones is surgery and I hope you discuss this with your doctor when you next meet.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
