Extreme right side pain under my rib cage

I had Pancreatits due to a bad Gall Bladder a year ago.  Since then I have been pretty healthy until recently.  About 8 weeks ago I started getting these severe pains in my right side under my rib cage.  When I take a deep breath it is like someone is stabbing me.  I have no fever and this pain is re-occuring.  Some days I am fine, others I can't move.  I have been to the emergency room twice.  The first time they told me my liver enzymes were real high but there was no sign of pancreatits and they sent me home with pain killers.  The second time they did and ultra sound, found nothing, and again sent me home on pain killers.  Has this happened to anyone?  I am scared but tired of going to the ER to be told to go home and rest.

I have had gall bladder removed 10 years back. Nearly every month when I get period I have severe pain under my right ribs. The only time I was checked by a doctor he suspected that it could be hepatitis, I did check up and found my liver ok. Later on through my investigation I came to find out that my problem is related to hormones and it could be endometriosis since it is always accompanies menstruation, also I was once diagnosed with endo but that was located at the lower abdomen. Since then I started using ibuprofen that helps me a lot, but in the last six month I didn't get period also no pain at all.
