What would cause pain in the right area below the rib cage?

What would cause pain in the right area below the rib cage?

About two weeks ago I had a laproscopic cholecystectomy. Since  then I have had to deal with a UTI due to escheria coli; I also have had pain in the area of my right kidney. Due to the anesthesia my bowels locked up and I had to take magnesium citrate. I cannot get back on track. I am hurting in the right lower quadrant under my rib cage . I am struggling to get my physician to listen. I am for the first time scared. I had a ct scan Friday. I have heard nothing from that. The surgeon stated that I had had some bleeding during the surgery. Each time I breathe deeply it is painful on the right side only in the rib area.
