Hello
Gall bladder calculus may cause back pain but it is important to rule out other causes of back pain.
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder.
Operation is commonly done laproscopically.Recovery is fast by this method.
Gall bladder calculus is prone to get obstruction and infection.
So,you should plan for definitive treatment.Only pain killers will not help you.
