worried about problem

I have been feeling pain on my upper right side of my body ever since I have had my gall bladder removed earlier this year. I have been to my GP twice regarding this pain but they have dismissed the fact that it has any thing to do with the removal of my gall bladder. I have done a blood test but I won't be getting the results until five days time as they suggested that maybe my liver is infected but not likely. If I was to pin-point the pain I would point at my back or just beneath my right breast. Recently I've felt the pain on my left side now I'm a little worried as this is the side my heart is on. The pain is mild but consistent. On a scale out of 10 I would give it a 6 as I do sometimes take pain killers. I feel it mostly in the evenings to nights, sometimes for comfort I would rotate my right arm but this doesn't take away the pain. I am hoping to see my GP again soon and pray that I will be recommended for an x-ray as I would really like to known what's happening.

I too had my gall bladder out over a year ago now.  Ever since I have had a pain on my upper right hand side.  It has got progressively worse over the year.  I was given an ultrasound and it showed nothing, the consultant told me it must be linked to my IBS, but am I going to have to put up with this for ever?????
