What Causes Pain Under Right Rib Cage When Diagnosed With Gallstones?
Have been diagnosed with gallbladder that needs to come out. Pain has gone from attacks to dull ache n feeling of football under right rib. Does this mean it is inflamed n needs to come out now. Taking pain killers just about every night as is too uncomfortable when lying down or sitting ? Surgery is a two month at least wait Should I push for surgery sooner ?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Gallbladder problem or gallstones can cause sever pain in right rib cage. This pain aggravates 2-3 hours after taking meals, is a symptom of pain from gall stones.
There is no treatment for gall stones, except for its removal. Which should not be delayed. Sometimes a gallstone get passed in bile duct which can cause huge problem.
I would suggest you to go for surgery right now.
Refer to your physician
hope this information helps
