Would Passing A Gallstone Cause Severe Pain?

WOULD PASSING A GALLSTONE CAUSE SEVERE PAIN? I ATE A BAG OF PEANUTS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH AND AN HOUR LATER DEVELOPED SOME MILD PAIN THAT TURNED INTO SEVERE PAIN LASTING SEVERAL HOURS AND PROGRESSING IN AREA AROUND RIGHT LOWER ABDOMEN TO NAVEL. I FINALLY FELL ASLEEP AND WHEN I AWOKE IT HAD SUBSIDED BUT MY ENTIRE GUT AREA IS VERY SORE.

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic....

Noted you have gall stone..
And now severe pain....
You should have consult doctor as it is suggestive here acute cholecystitis secondary to stone....if fevere also present.

USG done for it with estimation of CRP.
Antibiotic like cefixime need to given.
Mantainence of hydration ....
Analgesic like ibuprofen need to given here for pain relief and inflammation relief.

If stones multiple and repeated pain attacks present gall bladder removal indicated....

Take low fat diet.
For few days soft and bland diet indicated...

Take care......
