Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your Mother having gall stones and asthma. Also has pain in back and shoulder, which is indicative of gall bladder infection called cholecystitis.
I would advise you the following:
Get her admitted.
Physicians examination, treatment for asthma and fitness for surgery is needed.
Once fit for anesthesia and surgery go ahead with the proper surgery.
