A member asked:

Havent had gallstone attack for months but last 3 days had mild aching with moderate pain. why would this be happening? its never lasted so long.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Large stone: Small stones passing into cystic duct can cause colic. If a large stone drops into base of GB adjacent to cystic duct it can compress cystic artery and induce local ischemia which causes prolongation of symptoms and at times local necrosis of GB wall requiring resection of inflamed GB
