I have gall stones. when i sleep on my side , i feel a physical discomfort and pain in my gall bladder region, is it expected ?

Not exactly: People can have gallstones without any symptoms. However once you develop symptoms relating to gallstones such as pain right upper abdomen, pain with eating , etc. Then it may be time to evaluate for gallbladder surgery. See your surgeon. Some patient express that they feel like there is a knot or golf ball size pressure constantly present on that size.

Possible: The presence of gallstones alone will not cause pain. It may be your gallbladder. See your doctor for evaluation.
