Could Upper Abdomen And Back Pain Be Due To Gall Stone?
stone in my mother's gall bladder has been detected 1year earlier.we tried a lot to convince a lot to operate stone but she is not ready to have this operation before december of this year.today she is suffering from pain in upper abdomen & backbone and also having the feeling of nausea......what to do???is it for gall stone???
noted history of gallstone for over a year now. yes, her symptoms may be attributed to her gallstone disease. it is best if you bring your mother to a doctor, preferably a genereal surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. other things that must be ruled-out are muscular strain and stomach/intestinal problems. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. if it is indeed of gallstone in origin, definitive treatment is cholecystectomy (surgical removal of gallbladder) which may be done, laparoscopically (goldstandard) or thru open technique. low fat low salt diet is also advised.
hope this helps.
good day!!
