Can Gallstones Be The Reason For Lower Back/abdominal Pain?

I have pain in my lower right back/abdomen. Recently had 2 cats cans and ultra sound. Only issue was gall stones in gall bladder. Can this be causing this pain? I have trouble standing up straight. Hurts when I breath in. Constant pain. Referred to urologist but cannot see for another week. Wait to see him or other? I am 60 yr old male Thanks
