Warning! Do you have gallstones and don't know?

Hi People! If you ever get a pain in your lower right rib GO see a doctor!! Especially if after certain foods you get indigestion, bloating, burning and sometimes vomiting!

 

I was getting a come and go little niggly pain in my lower right rib and ignored it as it would come and go and I thought maybe it was just my muscles from how I was sitting. Although that little voice at the back of my head told me to go check it out but I did not listen.

 

Would get bad indigestion depending on what I ate but I suffer with bad stomach so did not connect the two.

 

On Jan 18 (Friday) the slight but annoying pain started to hurt again and did not go away this time. By Sunday it was still paining and just a little worse.

 

Packed up my pillow and got the hubby to take me to the emergency. Found out I had a walnut (in shell) sized gallstone and it had to come out!!

 

Got it out on Jan 22nd (Tuesday) and just in time too as too many days longer and I would not have been here to tell you this.

 

So if you getting pains as I said before even if they're not that bad, please go see a doctor!!
