What Causes Right Sided Upper Abdominal Pain?

i have RUQ pain, i have been on a no fat diet for months, I have had an US, CT Hida scan and will be having a scope done soon, they think it is my galbladder, but sometimes without eating fatty foods if Im stressed i have an attack, and these attacks put me to my knees. I had my son naturally and I would rather go through child birth again then continue with these attacks, that s how painful they are. Is there anything else this could be.

Hi,
right upper quatrand pain if it is coliky and radiating to back probably you are having some issues with gall bladder,and few more things i want to know like are you having jaundice ,fever,nausea or vomiting,if yes it more likely gall bladder problem like cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis.
Better get an ultrasound abdomen which will give a basic information regarding the disease per se with that complete blood count and liver function test.
Till then you can consider to take some analgesics which will help you in relieving the symptoms.
Thank you
