Do you have these symptoms of gallstones?
Gallstones: What are the symptoms?
"Symptoms of gallstones are often called a gallstone 'attack' because they occur suddenly. A typical attack can cause
steady pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours.
- pain in the back between the shoulder blades
- pain under the right shoulder
- nausea or vomiting
Gallstone attacks often follow fatty meals, and they may occur during the night. Other gallstone symptoms include:
- abdominal bloating
- recurring intolerance of fatty foods
- colic
- belching
- gas
- indigestion
People who also have the above and any of following symptoms should see a doctor right away:
- chills
- low-grade fever
- yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes
- clay-colored stools
Many people with gallstones have no symptoms. These patients are said to be asymptomatic, and these stones are called 'silent stones.' They do not interfere with gallbladder, liver, or pancreas function, and do not need treatment."

Pain can vary from mild discomfort all the way up to "give me some morphine...NOW!"
Unfortunately mine was the latter.
