Sorry to start a separate thread but thought it worth mentioning the actual problem in the title in case anyone's got experience they don't mind sharing.
My mum's been having stomach pain for ages now, on and off, but last week it got pretty severe and she ended up in A&E last night.
They have done an ultrasound as bloodwork came back with elevated something or other, indicating liver/gallbladder issues, and found her gallbladder is indeed full of stuff it shouldn't be.
She's waiting for an MRI now as apparently the bile duct isn't blocked, but there is something going on with the actual gallbladder? I am really worried and could use a bit of reassurance. Does this sound normal for gallstones?
She is only 57 and otherwise pretty fit but has had high cholesterol in the past.
