hello. Welcome to HCM.
If you mean to say that you have gall stones and high cholesterol, then the best approach would be to have it surgically removed as long standing gall stones can be complicated by many other problems. Also get your lipid profile checked. In case it is elevated, you need to have a strict dietary control. Though pain of gall bladder usually does not radiate to back, it can cause surrounding tissue inflammation with subsequent back pain in the region of mid spine. However, secondarily if it is long lasting and persistant, you must get investigated for back pain also by a neurologist.
