Hi,
Please understand that this is not related to gallbladder directly.
I advise you to undergo X-ray lumbar spine AP and lateral view to rule out lumbar spine disease.

Hi, Please understand that this is not related to gallbladder directly. I advise you to undergo X-ray lumbar spine AP and lateral view to rule out lumbar spine disease. Also get ultrasound abdomen to rule out any pancreatic disease. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
