Blood work was norman. I have an apt with Gastro Doc on the 27th of Nov. to follow-up. I continue to have the pain and not feel well. temperature is 97.2. Should I take myself back to the doctor or wait until my apt with the specialist at the end of the month?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have Gall bladder calculus and treatment Option is surgical removal.
By laparoscopic method, recovery period is less and now a days it is widely practiced.
If you don't remove it ,it may get suddenly obstructed and may lead to emergency and immediate hospitalization.So,better get rid of it.
Gall bladder calculus can be cancerous if it is kept for long time.
So, you should contact your surgeon.
Get well soon.
