I am 57 yr. old, 5 ft., 188 lb female with documented gallstones on CT Scan and Ultrasound. Is there anything I can take during a flare up - pain under my sternum to reduce the pain. The shortest attack was 15 minutes, longest 3 hours. I do not want to have surgery yet.

During pain, you may take analgesics. Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is Cholecystectomy. You should consult surgeon. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
