Hi. Just been to A&E after 3 weeks of pain. Consultant thinks might be gallstones. Got scan in 3 days but s***ing myself as don't know for certain what's wrong. Kicking myself for not going sooner to get it looked at. Thoughts?.....

Well, I mean you can't beat yourself up over it now. You made your decisions on what seemed right at the time.You'd be at the doctors office everyday if you went in over every little ache and pain. If it's gall stones they can fix that. Don't spend time worrying when you don't know what there is to worry about. Go out and have a little fun today.

Gallstones although bloody painful can be resolved easily you will find fatty foods will make it worse but not much anything you can do until you have had the scan and if you have been in pain it's more than likely gallstones. Until then just try and relax x
