Gallstones, also called Cholelithiasis, are hard lumps that develop in the gallbladder or bile
duct. Stones are composed by cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate and calcium
carbonate. However, cholesterol stones make up a majority of all gallstones.
When a gallstone gets stuck in any of the cystic duct the cystic ducts,
it may lead tan inflammatory condition
characterized by retention of bile in the gallbladder, causing a typical
“gallstone attack” or “biliary colic” in which a person may experience intense
pain in the upper-right side of the abdomen.
The back pain symptom is located between the shoulder blades or below the right
shoulder.
Gallstones within the gallbladder are often asymptomatic. Even for years, many
people with gallstones have no symptoms but still may need close observation and
medical care in order to avoid sudden complications.
