Difference between stomach pain and gallstone pain

Patient's question:

What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? What is the difference between stomach pain and gallstone pain?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after the recurrence of gallstones, if pain reappears, it is mostly due to pressure pain in the gallbladder area and may also be accompanied by pain in the right shoulder and back. If a recurrence of a stomach disease causes stomach pain, then it is mainly due to pain in the upper abdomen. Based on the location of the pain, a rough inference can be made, and a definitive diagnosis can be made through careful examinations such as liver and gallbladder ultrasound and blood tests.
