What position should i get into to stop gallstone pain? i had it a few weeks ago and it's come back

Not positional: You might feel better with your knees drawn up, but if you are having a gallbladder attack you should be evaluated. This can lead to cholecystitis and cholangitis (which requires urgent intervention). You should consider electively having your gallbladder removed if you continue to have these symptoms to prevent recurrences.

Gallstone pain: hi ~ if you are having "gallstone pain", the best position to be in is on your back on an OR table. Gallstones that are asymptomatic, theres no RUSH to get them out. If you are getting pain from it, a BIG pain with obstruction is almost a certainty, and can be complicated by gangrene of the GB fundus and you ll be 6 weeks sick iso 6 days. The grumbling GB should be given no slack. Have it out ! tx
