In agony :( how long should a gallstone attack last?

lilme21baby

It's 6 45 am here and the pain started 11 pm. I can't find any position standing , sitting or lying that relieves the pain! I have had two attacks in the past 2 weeks but they only lasted around an hour! I don't know what to do it's driving me mad! I take 8 buscopan tablets a day to try and stop the attacks but obviously not working! I have been on a very low fat diet for 7 months so it's not fatty food that's causing it !

I've had them last hours. They are beyond awful. Sorry to hear you're in pain. You might want to have a chat with your doctor about your treatment plan, since you're still having attacks. Make it clear that you have been careful with your diet.

Sounds like it's time to have it removed

Thanks for the advice! 9am the pain stopped! Ten hours later! X

I managed for a while on a low fat diet but in the end an egg would set me off and make me violently sick. I had them out in the end - and have felt much better since!!!

My pain got so bad, I layed awake all night, in the fetal position. Feel so much better now that I had it removed. Good Luck
