I have been to the ER 2x this week due to violent nausea spells lasting aprox 2 hours prior to going in I have a long health history and have had over 30 surgeries they have discovered cysts on my ovaries during the recent pain spells but the last 2 visits a 16mm gallstone was discovered just at wits end I am going to the mayo clinic to see my previous surgeons on Monday 24th is it wise to wait what can I do to control the pain until then...so confused and scared
Hi, Thanks for writing in. If the symptoms are due to gall stones confirmed by radiological examination of the biliary tract, then a temporary course of antibiotics and analgesics can be resorted to until you take definitive treatment for the gall stone disease. But if the attacks are severe with uncontrollable symptoms taking long time or perhaps refusing to resolve then surgery would be the only option. With regards
