A member asked:

Is there anything natural that u would recommend (besides pain killers)for quick relief of gallstone pain? i.e. lay a certain way, drink water, etc...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Get it removed as you have symptoms if allowed may develop additional complications, removal of gall bladder is a relatively low risk ambulatory procedure , obvious other methods failed on you , speak to your doctor.
