Should the galblader be removed. if im getting pain?

Your call: If the gallbladder has been shown to have stones in it or an abnormal function and is causing pain the benefit would be to stop the pain and prevent further problems such as infection or common bile duct stones from occurring. These other problems could necessitate hospitalization and put you at risk for further complications if not treated appropriately. Some people, however "deal with their pain" months to years without having problems.

Try other approaches: Gallbladder disease often responds well to holistic approaches. Diet, herbs, acupuncture, vitamins, minerals & enzymes can help. Many claim gallbladder flushes can help, though this is controversial. It is well worth trying alternatives, as the standard approach, gall bladder removal, is extreme and irreversible.If all else fails surgery can be done.
