Hi, my name is Emory. about a month ago  I stared having pain in my abdomen and spasms that I could actually see while reclining. the pain was not intense just uncomfortable.. At this  time the pain was not up around my ribs. I went to the ER ,they did a  CT scan and found that I have gallstones. sense then I have started having pain around the ribs and while lying down can almost pin point the area exactly. But I am also swollen lower in my abdomen lower where  I am having spasms. I have a appt. with a Surgeon on Thursday for possible GB surgeryl.I am worried that my GB is not the problem  with the spasms. Do you think all stems from gallstones? Or could I I have two different problems,                                                                                                                                                  thank you
Hi, I went through your query. Gall bladder stones often cause pain along lower border of right ribs or at the right shoulder or back. Stones can also result in colicky pain and spasms s in your case. If the stone occludes the neck of gall bladder it can get swollen, and you may feel a lump. But a lump could be there for other serious causes too. But since your CT indicates no other problem it seems gall bladder stones are responsible for your symptoms. Hope this helps.
