On physical exertion and pushing my physical boundaries, I get pain on my right side somewhat above last right rib. What could it be? It takes a day or two for the pain to subside till I recoup from physical exertion. I have undergone cholecystectomy two decades ago.

Hi. It seems more to be a muscular pain for now. Whatever physical exertion you do divide it with intervals of relaxation or sitting for a while and this way you can complete your task also and take rest breaks. Do not be insistent to finish work at one go. Its ok. Do few stretch exercises which will take care of circulation of blood and tonicity of muscles. Calcium and b12 levels are of utmost importance at your age. Get them checked. You can also get an abdomen sonography done since it's been 2 decades after operation (thpugh as of now it doesn't seem to have any connection with your pain. Then too to be safe. Usg advised)
