can a diseased gall bladder cause pain constantly?

can a diseased gall bladder cause pain constantly?

i am in a lot of pain on my right side near my stomach-- my amylase level is higher than it should be, i have no appetite, and weird colored stools.  what is wondering is--- is that the pain is all the time-- it started after i had laparoscopy for appendix removal--  could it be my gall bladder?  my md ordered an abdominal ultra sound--- the entire area--- had it done today-- and should find out tomorrow....

Gall bladders can cause pain all the time...but I'm sure he's checking your liver and Pancreas as well. Could be gall stones as well.
Be sure to let me know what the dx was from the test!
Take care!

Yes a diseased gall bladder can be painful all the time but sometimes the doctors may over look it.  Mine did for five years. It's right next to your stomach which can make them think it is the stomach and not the gall bladder.
