Do gallstones hurt worse when lying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: A not uncommon presentation of pain from gall stones is being awakened at night with biliary colic. This occurs when a stone roles up into the neck of the gall bladder, obstructing the cystic duct, the duct the gall bladder empties through. Dr cope described this as happening to him in his book, " the early diagnosis of the acute abdomen".
