Gall Bladder Located In Leg. How Can The Gall Bladder Be Functional?
I just heard from a friend that she has been told that she has a rare disorder. Allegedly her gallbladder is located in her leg. I have never heard of this before and am trying to find out more information. Apparently it affects a very few people in the world. Dr. Sidney Effer (not sure of the spelling) apparently has a book about it. How can the gallbladder be functional in that location? I spent 4 yrs as a paramedic and have never heard of this

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
What? I ve never heard for anything like this and I dont think this is possible.SHe probbably meant that she feels pain due to gallbladder in leg, this makes sense. But gallbladder in leg? This is fantasy.Ir can be located low,maybe near appendix and pelvis but not lower.
Wish you good health.
