He has an appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning. He is in a lot of pain on the right side of his abdomen just above his waist. I m considering taking him to the hospital. Could it be gallbladder?  <response>: Hi.whats the character of the pain? If it is colicky, epigastric to right upper qua Chat Doctor. Other concerns in the area of complain, i.e. liver, bowel concerns, must also be ruled-out.
