Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The pain in the upper abdomen and going to the back , with history of gall bladder removed and disc stenosis and nerve damage can be due to the disc but there may be additional or exclusively due to other causes like:
Pancreatitis
Gastric ulcer / cancer on the posterior wall.

I would advise you the following:
-First of all get an opinion of a Neurologist and a fresh MRI of the spine to see the position and to discuss whether this is due to it or not.
-Upper GI Endoscopy and biopsy
-CT scan of the abdomen for liver and pancreatitis

This will give you the diagnosis and plan for the treatment
