Amybody on my f-list ever have gallstones?

What did it feel like?

While my own gall bladder attack a few years ago evidently stopped short of full-blown stones (or else they were minute enough to pass without incident) that's a good description of the pain. It had me walking sort of half doubled-over for a few weeks.

Do get it checked, especially if you still have an appendix. Pain from one can be hard to differentiate from the other.

I thought that too, but it's been a few days and there is no tenderness, fever or nausea. In fact, pressing on it helps reduce the pain. So I'm thinking it's not likely to be my appendix.
