well she is feeling better and no complaints of pain since the day we took test. is there a possibility that the stone washed out as she has been drinking a lot of water lately to fox this. i understand the one in GB wont turn out but is it that critical to opt for procedure?

point is she is 60+ and has a long history of taking meds very sensitive to medicine and cannot sustain heavy meds. also recovery from operations at this stage. i realize that its a must when its show stopper but how would you rate this condition otherwise. can it be like non sos.

ps: she is not complaining pain anymore.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear patient,
Problem with stone in gallbladder is that sometimes it skids out into common bile duct and get stuck into pancreas causing severe pancreatitis.This is a inflammatory condition and causes acute emergency and can even be fatal.
Therefore treatment of choice for a gall bladder stone is laproscopic surgery.
Stone would be removed using a laproscope.
Only three holes would be created during procedure.
Patient would be discharged post operation after 24 hour.
For kidney stone she can try drinking plenty of water.
