Can High Acceleration Games Impact Gallstones?
Hi Doc,
Thanks for giving this opportunity.
My question is related to body accelerations and kidney or gall stones. Last time. in the hopital they could see that I had one big gall stone in stead of a set of smaller stones (I had no complaints in that area it was for just checking for DVT). The advise is to do nothing as eventually the bladder will resolve around it and the stone will be accepted as a natural body owned element.
BUT.. How about roller coasters and other high acceleration situations like speed boat donut-pull holiday fun. What are the max. accelerations for this for somebody in his mid 50s with no complaints to be confident that these stone(s?) will not bullet through the inner organs or setting of series of complaints after the ride.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks, Robert Vanes

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
As I know, there are no such evidence that it could affect stone size and motility since stones are placed within bile and gallbladder is covered with liver so forces do not reach it. It can be affected with ultrasonographic waves however ,but your theroy is not something that I would agree with.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health. Regards
