I was diagnosed 2 months ago with gallstones and gall sludge . Today I got a sudden sharp pain similar to how I would expect being shot would feel. I could not breathe , walk, or really move for a brief moment. Now my pain is slighty worse then my normal gallbladder attacks. I don t have insurance so I don t want to go to the ER unless it is a must. What is your advice?
Hi Thanks for posting your query The Gallstones by them self do not cause bad pain like the renal stones It is only when the gallbladder is inflamed or obstructed due to a stone lodging in the neck that is pains very bad I would suggest you go to the ER as soon as possible, and if you can bear get a Complete blood count done, if the WBC count is raised definitely go to the ER Hope this helps Am available for any followup queries there are no further doubts, do accept this reply and rate it Wishing You A Speedy Recovery
