Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I am very much concerned about your problem.If you did not have any injury then this can e due to some internal problem like inflammation of gall bladder or stone in gall bladder or gastritis.This needs early attention by your physician .This can be best evaluated by USG upper abdomen or CT SCAN.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Pain in this area could be due to muscle spasm, bruised or broken ribs, gastritis, gall bladder inflammation or stone.
I suggest you to consult a physician for proper evaluation. You may need x-ray or ultrasound abdomen under his or her guidence.

Hello, and welcome to HCM!
Pain in this area could be caused by a cracked/broken rib, a kidney infection, or several other problems. It is difficult to say without examining you. If the symptoms you describe are the only ones (no fever, vomiting, painful urination, etc) then infection is less likely. I would recommend seeing your family doctor, who may decide to do x-rays to make sure you don't have a broken rib.
I wish you good health, and thank you for posting on HCM!
