A member asked:

Had ct scan done, they found gallstones. i haven't had time to go back to doctor, but i have lower back pain on left side. can gallstones cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Gallbladder is located in the upper right. Left back pain is very unlikely to be from gallstones.
