Posted: 10/28/06 - 12:45 Post subject: pain under right rib, lower back, gallstones?
I know I have gallstones, I have about six and am told they are freeflowing. (not blocking a bile duct) I have a pressure under my right rib that is uncomfortable and has been going on since mid September and for the last 2 days have been having shooting pain into my right clavilce. My family doctor wants me not do anything (unnecessary surgery) wait 4 weeks and if the problem persist do a hyda scan to see if my gallbladder is fuctioning. I want to know if the symptoms I am feeling is related to my gallstones and if I should just get a second opinion?
