Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
Yes Gall Bladder Stone can cause pain in abdomen. It can also cause Cholecystitis causing pain.
However a pain in upper abdomen can also be due to acid peptic disease.
I would advice you to get ultrasound of abdomen to see for Gall Bladder and stone status.
If there is a problem a surgical removal of gall bladder might be required.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
