Have a extremely large gallbladder sludge, and suffering from extreme lower back pain. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a Surgeon: Sludge, "extremely large gallbladder", and back pain could be something as serious as pancreatitis or a significantly inflamed gallbladder. Physician evaluation in an er is recommended. It seems that the gallbladder should be removed in the absence of another source of symptoms.
