Just found out I have stones in my Gallbladder

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been having pains in the top part of my tummy for awhile now also acid reflux more or less every time I eat. I started sweating excessively for no reason felt sick a lot of the time really tired. I went to the doctors explained my symptoms and was sent for a ultra scan yesterday. Can I please ask did anyone else have pain and tenderness when the transducer was moved over the gallbladder area it hurt a lot also when I was asked to turn onto my side and the Sonographer moved the transducer up and down my right side again it was so painful this was the case with my left side too. Does anyone know why this was so painful on both sides if my gallbladder is just under my breast bone? He told me I had enough stones in my gallbladder to build a house lol he was lovely tbf. He told me my doctor should be in touch with me in the next five day's then hopefully I can get more info on what happens then. Thank-you in advance for your help and advise.
