I went to the doctor who said it was possibly a gallbladder flare up or muscular so told me would treat me over the weekend for both gave me tramadol told me not to eat over the weekend just drink. by late Friday night pain relief kicked in just felt uncomfortable as such. Saturday felt a dull ach felt very sick & light headed all day I did eat a crumpet as felt so wosey. have woke this morning not in any pain just a very dull like under my ribs feel staving not sure if to eat? what to eat? don't know if should even go back to the doctors on monday as feel okish today. please help not sure what it was? or anything about a gallbladder.

My god do I feel your pain!!! It's awful and wouldn't wish it on anyone!! I went thru 5 months of small flare ups, the doctors kept telling me it was acid reflux.....I'm now sat here 1 week and 2 days post gall bladder removal op (full of stones and 3 were the size of medium sized marbles) I was having bloods done weekly right up until I was admitted from clinic (appointment to talk about having gallbladder out) with an horrendous infection which landed me in hospital for 4 days on IV antibiotics and then an oral course for 7 days.
It sounds like the start of what I have been thru, keep fighting and you will have to push, I ended up having to have an ambulance out my second to last flare up and my last flare up I ended up at an out of hours doctor in a hospital at 5am, 24 hours later I was admitted!!!
Also if you know something isn't right keep pushing as I didn't have a temperature at all I had to have bloods done to show that something was wrong apart from the outward signs of hardly being able to hold my head up, couldn't sleep, in agony.
Good luck. Always welcome to private message of you want to know more xx
