I have been having right flank pain including pain under my front ribs and up into should blade for 10months. I have been told I have several gallstones the largest being 21mm x 18mm. Im bloated after eating. Indigestion. Sweating excessively. Nausea with occasional vomiting Constantly in pain. Im taking 8 x 30/500 co codamol & 3x 250mg naproxen a day and really struggling. How serious is this. Thanks
Hello Gall bladder stones may cause pain, nausea and vomiting if there is infection or obstruction. Gall bladder stones are prone for obstruction and infection. Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy). You should be planned for early operation. It is not good to keep gall bladder calculus for long period. Codamol and naproxen will only give symptomatic relief. Take Care Chat Doctor.
